Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for this patch. I had a brief look at it.

As I have little experience with the statistics package, the first thing I
usually do when looking at patches for it here is trying the examples on the
Matlab help page for the relevant function. All the more so if "compatibility"
is mentioned in the title :-)
Now, with and without your patch the very first example there doesn't work in
Octave:

>> rng ('default');
>> X = rand (20000, 3);
>> Z = linkage (X, "ward");
error: linkage: d must be a vector
error: called from
    linkage at line 102 column 5


... so there's a deeper problem with linkage as it stands.
Would you have any idea on how to make that example work in Octave?
