Thank you for your bug report. This is a duplicate of bug #46544. Whether or not the cd command is ignored seems to be a race condition depending on your system load and so on.

Definitely running octave as octave-cli or octave --no-gui-libs prevents this condition.

In the dev build, my cd commands in .octaverc are ignored. Other settings, such as pkg load and setenv, work fine.

MWE:
--
Entry in .octaverc:

cd('/home/ericbarnhill/Documents')

--
output:

>>octave --no-gui

GNU Octave, version 4.1.0+
[...]

>> pwd

ans = /home/ericbarnhill

>> cd('/home/ericbarnhill/Documents')
>> pwd

ans = /home/ericbarnhill/Documents
