Details:

Matlab gives,


get (subplot (211), 'outerposition')
ans =         0    0.5457    1.0000    0.4097


And Octave,


get (subplot (211), "outerposition")
ans =   0.050000   0.510000   0.900000   0.440000


The implied margin being added to the perimeter of the figure for subplots
interferes with the placement of the legend box when the legend is placed
outside the subplot's axes position.  I'm attaching a simple example.


subplot (2,1,1)
plot (rand (3))
legend blue green red
legend location northeastoutside
print -dpng -r72 subplot211-octave.png


There is also a problem with legend(), which is partially covered by the
bug-report #39316
