Update of bug #49019 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

If a function accepts a dimension greater than ndims, then it is probably done
for Matlab compatibility.

Indeed, for example, Matlab's help for the max function states

> max returns A if dim is greater than ndims(A).

This is not the case for most functions and cannot really be solved in a
general way. Since all arrays have ndims >= 2, 1 and 2 will always work, but
dim >= 3 will only work if the array actually has ndims >= dim.
