Fixed in this changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f5a5e5252b5a). You will need to build from the development source or wait for 3.4.1 to see the changes.

The response to "help pascal" states:

In fact, the result of pascal(N,1) is a lower triangular matrix with columns of alternating sign. This result is correct in that it agrees with Matlab, but it is NOT the Cholesky factor. The Cholesky factor has only positive values on the diagonal. The matrix returned for T=-1 IS the Cholesky factor.
