Here is a patch to clarify the documentation strings for &&,&,||,|.

two questions:
 - should the incompatibility to matlab in the short-circuit behaviour

 - how much attention do I need to pay not to cite the matlab
documentation literally within the octave help strings (from a legal
point of view)?
