BTW the same example seems to show also a bug in get_help_text:

------------------------------------------------------
 >> help myfun
`myfun' is a function from the file /Users/carlo/Desktop/autoloadbug/ 
myfun.m

  MYFUN: this version of myfun is defined in an m-file

 >>  [text, format] = get_help_text (myfun)
warning: implicit conversion from scalar to string
text =
format = Not found

------------------------------------------------------
