I took another look and I don't think the "dispatch" warning is related. The dispatch is/was used to change the implementation of standard octave functions when called with a COM object. For instance, calling get(obj, ...) would result in com_get(obj, ...) being called. The same for set, invoke, delete... OTOH the error you're seeing is a subsref problem, as used with syntax like obj.something. (Note also that the DISPATCH_METHOD and similar are related to Win32 COM automation, it's different from the dispatch mechanism from octave). To debug, you'd need an octave version compiled with debug enabled. Then I guess the easiest would be to put a breakpoint on the error() function from octave (see error.cc) and dump a backtrace to see where it's coming from.
