yes, you are right. Googling the matlab documentation I even found an
example for this:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/strncmpi.html&http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&as_qdr=all&q=matlab+site%3Awww.mathworks.com+strncmp&btnG=Suche&meta=
So it is intended behaviour as well.

Thanks for crosschecking.
