Looking at other Emacs programming modes, I don't see
that this is the common way to define indentation widths,
so I don't see why Octave mode should do it.
BTW, are you setting tab-width to something other than 8?
I think that is almost always the wrong thing to do,
because then if you share your files with someone else
who doesn't know what your special tab-width setting is,
the file will likely look garbled.
