Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51988 (project octave):
This issue or something similar has been discussed previously, e.g.,
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46852
Look through that to see if it is the same issue. Perhaps any changes in the
message were after 4.2.1. There's a changeset here
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/dcbd2ceadff1
where language "shadows" was introduced.
As you pointed out, it is very easy to not be aware that a function has been
over-written by some choice of variable name. As such, it's not immediately
obvious what has happened.
