I backported the patch to stable here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7eb0077e86f0). Closing report.

Seems useful enough to backport this to stable.

I pushed the following changeset on default. I suppose this change could go on stable as well if it is OK to add a public function.

Confirmed. This is a regression from 4.0.3 where this worked.
