OK, I tired of waiting and decided to make the following change.

Now I see this behavior:

  octave:1> mwarnerr
  warning: This is a warning with ID
  error: This is an error with ID
  error: called from `mwarnerr' in file `/export/home/jwe/mwarnerr.m'
  octave:1> lasterror
  ans =
  {
    message = error: This is an error with ID

    identifier = mwarnerr:ErrID
    stack =
    {
      file = /export/home/jwe/mwarnerr.m
      name = mwarnerr
      line =  3
      column =  3
    }

  }
