problem with default radio property values?

I noticed that many default values are properly reported

	octave:2> get (0, "defaultaxesposition")
	ans =   0.13000   0.11000   0.77500   0.81500

	octave:3> get (0, "defaultaxesticklength")
	ans =   0.010000   0.025000

But some others are not

	octave:4> get (0, "defaultaxesunits")
	ans = 0

	octave:5> get (0, "defaultaxesfontunits")
	ans = 0

	octave:6> get (0, "defaulttextfontunits")
	ans = 0

	octave:7> get (0, "defaultaxestickdir")
	ans = 0

 From what I can tell all radio properties behave this way. I  
experimented with placing ...

	units = "normalized";

... in axes::properties::set_defaults, but the behavior did not  
change. Nor does it work for the other radio properties whose defaults  
are already specified there.

Is this a bug, or the result of a work in progress that has not yet  
been completed?

In any event, is there presently a way to determine the default value  
for a radio property from an m-file?
