Follow-up Comment #3:

I fixed regexp and regexprep to rewrite the pattern for double quoted strings
(which was already being done for single quoted strings) before processing by
PCRE.  This was done on the stable branch here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e6fac42c8d56).

There is still a small quirk in that the replacement string, when using double
quoted strings, does not accept the matlab syntax for octal or hex.  Octave
does accept ordinary syntax for octal and hex, and someone transporting code
from Matlab to Octave would be using single quotes anyways where this already
works.  In other words, I'm not too bothered by it, but if someone wants to
change that as well they can.
