I agree. In the next version of Octave the error message will be

  error: cell(_,0,_): subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^31)-1 or logicals

Does that help indicate that it's being interpreted as a subscripting
operation on a variable named "cell" instead of a function call? That is
the intent of the new message (see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45957
for details).

maybe a bit, but unless it's being used for multiple types of entities

  error: cell(_,0,_): variable subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^31)-1 or logicals

or

  error: cell(_,0,_): subscripts for variables must be either integers 1 to (2^31)-1 or logicals

is much more explicit.
