Thanks for catching that.  I checked in your change on the stable branch here (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/cf452aa01cd5).  Marking as fixed and closing report.

The docstring of operator ^ ** mentions "realroot" which is not an Octave function.
According to the docstring of operator .^ .** , it seems that it might be "realpow".
