The documentation is: "Switch controlling code evaluation during export.
When set to nil no code will be evaluated as part of the export
process."

which is different than "all code and results will be exported". Evaluation and export are two different things.

(setq org-export-babel-evaluate t)

#+BEGIN_SRC octave :exports results :cache nil
"hello, world"
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: hello, world

Yes, the above appears to work.
