First, version 4.0.3 is ancient and no longer supported.  You should upgrade to the latest stable version 5.1.0 as there have been many positive changes.

But, that won't address the particular issue you identified.  I think the capability for the dimension argument to be a vector is a relatively new addition to Matlab.  I have changed the issue report to be a request to implement this feature in Octave.

The following code


a = reshape(1:36, 6, 6);
any(a>5, [1,2])
ans =

   1   1   1   1   1   1


(analogue with all)

ignores the vector status of the dim argument.

I would expect either
- octave to complain, that the argument must be a scalar, or
- do the operation over all of the indicated dimensions (as would matlab (2018b) do), i.e. the result would be 1 in this case.

(I would prefer the second solution, it would not only reduce incompabilities, but also be more useful.)
