The emacs mode for Octave is kept, and maintained, in the GNU emacs package.  You need to file a bug report with them.  The report here on the Octave bug tracker will be closed.

In addition, you might take a look at this post,

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Fixing-single-quote-strings-in-octave-mode-in-Emacs-td2236590.html

where the user has submitted a patch which apparently does what you want.  The user mentioned trying to re-submit this patch to the emacs group as it was ignored the first time.

I guess Kurt Hornick is still maintaining the package, and here is his reply (to the effect of "sorry"):

The following line in an octave source code file:

printf('Hello world!\n')

is not syntax colored correctly. If the single quotes are replaced with double quotes:

printf("Hello world!\n")

the string is colored correctly.
