* Problem (bug?) evaluating octave code ("function name does not agree with file name)

Hello list,
I am a very happy user of orgmode and babel. I recently picked up a
document from last year, and found that code blocks that used to
evaluate fine now don't. A code block like this
#+BEGIN_SRC octave
1;
function y=dup(x)
y=2*x;
end
dup(2)
#+END_SRC
fails with
: warning: function name 'dup' does not agree with function file name ''
: error: 'dup' undefined near line 1 column 1
on evaluating, despite the "1;" trick at the beginning. Saving to
foo.m and running from octave works fine.
I'm using
Emacs 24.4.1
Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-56-g17a225-elpa)
GNU Octave, version 3.8.2
There has been some change, of which I am unaware, in the way babel
handles this block that leads to this behaviour. However, it seems to
me that it is a well-formed block and should evaluate fine. Am I
wrong?
Thanks in advance
Tomas

Just to confirm that you are not wrong and I ran into this a while ago
now. That is, problems with functions defined in the middle of the code
as opposed to functions in their own .m files. I didn't have time to
figure out what was wrong at the time due to deadlines so found other
ways of doing what I wanted including @(x) function definitions.
The strange thing is that babel seems to not leave any code in the /tmp
files it creates so I cannot see what code org babel is trying to execute.

Thanks Eric,
My workaround was to use :session, though not completely satisfactory
(I need to clean up the output).
Your comment made me notice
1. octave reports the problem filename as empty
2. the undefined function call happens at 'line 1', which would not be
the case if the whole code block was copied to a file.
It seems babel is feeding octave the lines one-by-one. Strange.
