Happily, this has already been fixed on the development branch. See http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bd592d5482c0.

summary: doc: Add SP to list of outputs in docstring for regexp, regexpi.

According to the manual:

[s, e, te, m, t, nm] = regexp (str, ptn)

but further down I see that there's a non-mentioned 7th return arg "sp" which contains the non-matched items.
Same goes for the "on-line" texinfo help text of regexp()

=> Texinfo header needs an update

(I suppose the manual is derived directly from the doc strings.)
