Parse error when defining a cell array

Bug report for Octave 3.0.1 configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
Description:
-----------
It seems that the call to the "eye" function is not handled correctly
while defining a cell array.
Repeat-By:
---------
This is how I would expect Octave to work, and in this case it does fine.
octave:1> e = { 0, eye(5) }
e =
{
[1,1] = 0
[1,2] =
1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1
}
Here, a whitespace is inserted between eye and its argument, leading to
irritating results:
octave:2> e = { 0, eye (5) }
e =
{
[1,1] = 0
[1,2] = 1
[1,3] = 5
}
When used the call "standalone", Octave does not care about the whitespace:
octave:3> e = eye (5)
e =
1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1
