functions () fails for subfunctions

The following works in Matlab:
===
function testfun ()
f = str2func ('testsubfun');
functions (f)
function [x, y] = testsubfun (x, y)
% noop
===
it outputs:
ans =
function: 'testsubfun'
type: 'scopedfunction'
file: [1x85 char]
parentage: {'testsubfun' 'testfun'}
whereas in Octave (current hg default), it results in an error:
octave:1> testfun ()
error: invalid structure assignment
error: called from `testfun' in file `......./testfun.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 1, column 3
Now it's probably not that important that the Matlab functionality is
copied exactly, especially since the format of the output is
officially unspecified, but at least it shouldn't throw an error.
