If I understand correctly from that thread you are saying that there
may be a bug in the way Octave's c_file_ptr_buf class is implemented.
It's certainly possible that there is a bug, but I don't know enough
about how these functions are supposed to work.  I admit to simply
copying and modifying some libstdc++ code to create the c_file_ptr_buf
class, so I didn't really understand it fully when I wrote it, but it
seemed to work properly (back in the day, there wasn't exactly much
documentation for the stream library internals...).  I don't object to
changing the c_file_ptr_buf class, but before making changes I'd like
to have some definitive statement about what the proper implementation
is.
