Array construction fails with row of doubles

[cbm755]

A = [sym(0) 1; sym(2) 3];
B = [sym(0) 1; 2 3];

A works but B fails on Octave 3.6.4 and 3.8.1 with:

error: octave_base_value::map_value(): wrong type argument 'scalar'
error: octave_base_value::parent_class_name_list(): wrong type argument 'scalar'

It works in Matlab, maybe an Octave bug?

Looks like:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38128

which is supposed to be solved by still see this on Octave dev. Will investigate further.

filled upstream. can't fix it here.

Workaround, extract brackets around the row vec:

B = [sym(0) 1; [2 3]];

[cbm755]

maybe I should leave this open so people see it? E.g., this upstream

Same error here with v. 4.2.1 w64 for windows:
syms d
T=[1 d 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 d
0 0 0 1]

fails with: error: octave_base_value::map_value(): wrong type argument 'scalar'
