I did more study about the behaviour of Matlab ode solvers when only one output is requested.
It seems what we do now must be completely changed,
but this hack is OK for 4.2, I'll submit a new ticket that can be worked on in the stable branch.

Something of a hack, but I checked in this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/56d7d423aff9). 

Fixed, closing report.

When invoked with only one struct output, the
ode solvers in Matlab only return the state
evaluated at automatically selected timesteps.

Octave on the other hand returns the solution
at manually specified timesteps if tspan has more
than two entries.

Octave :

sol = ode45 (@(t, x) 1, [0 .4  1], 1)
sol =
  scalar structure containing the fields:
    x =
       0.00000   0.40000   1.00000
    y =
       1.0000   1.4000   2.0000
    solver = ode45


Matlab :

>> sol = ode45 (@(t, x) -10 * x, [0 .4  1], 1)
sol =
     solver: 'ode45'
    extdata: [1x1 struct]
          x: [0 0.0201 0.1023 0.1807 0.2593 0.3380 0.4166 0.4953 0.5739 0.6525 0.7312 0.8098 0.8950 1]
          y: [1 0.8180 0.3598 0.1642 0.0748 0.0341 0.0155 0.0071 0.0032 0.0015 6.6905e-04 3.0481e-04 1.3005e-04 4.5600e-05]
      stats: [1x1 struct]
      idata: [1x1 struct]



Notice that Matlab also returns additional undocumented
fields in the result structure that are needed by deval.
