!!!!! test failed
assert (map (@(x, y) (sin (x) .^ 2 + cos (y) .^ 2);
, -pi:0.5:+pi, -pi:0.5:+pi),ones (1, 13)) expected
   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1
but got
   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1   1


The problem is that Octave 3.2 isn't consistent in what ones() returns:
...
GNU Octave, version 3.2.4
...
octave:1> typeinfo(ones(1,13))
ans = range
octave:2> typeinfo(ones(2,13))
ans = matrix

I don't have the build power on my notebook to build 3.4. Can you check wether
this has changed there?

Thanks
