Thanks for noticing this. I fixed it in this changeset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1874a5a142ee) on the stable branch. It will be a part of 3.8.1 or 4.0, whichever is the next release.

There appears to be an error in the documentation of the strsplit function in octave-3.8.0/doc/interpreter/octave.pdf. The following two sentences about the delimiter seem to contradict each other:

The delimiter, del may be a string, a scalar cell-string, or cell-string array. del must be a cell-string array.

I understand that the specs for strsplit changed between octave-3.6.4 and octave-3.8.0 (this actually broke my own code, which is what led me to look at the documentation for strsplit).
