For this problem, try the following patch to Octave:

src/ChangeLog:

        * lex.l (<COMMAND_START>{NL}): Reset lexer_flags.doing_rawcommand
        state here.

For this one, try the following change for print.m:

Bonus points if you can figure out how to do the right thing for
"replot;" (I could not).
