There isn't enough time to have this be included for the 5.0 release, but I did push the change to the development branch that will become 6.0.  See https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d4211810202a.

I think qp and sqp in general could use an overhaul.  I filed another bug report about the questionable use of rtol as both an absoloute and relative tolerance.  See bug #55351, "qp algorithm needs to distinguish TolX from TolCon".

Marking this bug as fixed and closing report.

I added the tolerance as an input parameter for qp in _qp_.cc.
The options struct passed to qp.m now  includes "TolX". Until now it contained only maxit.
Regarding sqp.m, he qp subproblem now accepts the tolerance passed to sqp as a parameter.

Bug #53483 indicated a problem in sqp which is track down to the C++ code of qp.cc

In line 99 qp uses a fixed tolerance for the search given by sqrt(eps). http://octave.org/doxygen/4.3/da/dbd/____qp_____8cc_source.html

This is a bug in qp and one would need to pass the tolerance as a parameter (or compute the correct tolerance for qp based on the arguments of sqp).
This bug is similar to feature request #43030
