Hi Miguel
this bug is of octave (core) and this mailing list is for octave-forge
(related but different project for packages and distribution of octave
binaries). This bug should have been reported on their mailing list
(I'm already sending it there with this reply so don't worry about it
now).
Also, bugs can be reported on the bug tracker. I have prepared a
changeset from your patch (slightly modified to improve on the error
message as you mentioned) and submitted it there. Please follow it
here https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?35678
