--interactive worked in shell. 
However, this appears to be  the relevant section of octave-inf.el:
(defun inferior-octave-startup ()
  "Start an inferior Octave process."
    (let ((proc (comint-exec-1
    (substring inferior-octave-buffer 1 -1)     
    inferior-octave-buffer
    inferior-octave-program
    (append (list "-i" "--no-line-editing") 
            inferior-octave-startup-args))))
