This is a known issue with saving function handles to subfunctions. Already reported as bug #36686, closing as a duplicate report.

If a script file contains many functions, they are not properly identified by their handles stored in a data file.


Example of a script file:
-----
function test_struct = testfcn()
    test_struct.some_function_handle = @some_function;
end

function a = some_function()
    a = true;
end
-----

It can be used as
-----
a = testfcn();
a.some_function_handle(); % returns 'true'
-----

However, after the structure 'a' was saved and loaded, the function handle is not restored properly
-----
save a.mat a;
load a.mat;
a.some_function_handle(); % now calls 'testfcn()' instead of 'some_function()'
-----

Contents of the data file:
-----
# name: a
# type: scalar struct
# ndims: 2
 1 1
# length: 1
# name: some_function_handle
# type: function handle
# octaveroot: /usr/local
# path: /usr/home/aleks/testfcn.m
some_function
