I found the problem. My changeset that added the "compatible"
outerposition is responsible. I'll take a look.

With the current sources, the following is now only showing the last

how subplot is supposed to work now.

I found a few errors in my prior changeset.
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/4142982c66c6
The most severe were not offsetting the outerposition from the
postion property, and calculating the lower/bottom inset correctly.
There are some surprises with the proprietary solution. First, the
outerposition properties for subplot with more than 4 rows overlap.
In Octave's implementation this results in new subplots deleting
neighboring ones.
I fixed that by trigger deletion when the position properties overlap.
A second surprise is the interaction of Matlab's parser and the
subplot command. See the example below.
>> subplot(1,5,1);get(gca,'position')
ans = 0.13 0.11 0.12374 0.815
>> subplot(1,5,1);
>> get(gca,'position')
ans = 0.13 0.11 0.12132 0.815
I characterized the proprietary behavior using scripts. Thus, it
presently respects the first example. I verified the propriety
behavior for Matlab 2007b as well as for 2008b. I'd prefer we not
try to duplicate this behavior.
As I already missed several errors, please check this over. If it is
ok, please push (I won't be able to until later).
