Obada,

This is a bug in Texinfo, the program which generates the documentation,
rather than in Octave.  I doubt that Texinfo will be fixing this soon, if
ever, so I have made a workaround in the Octave documentation by inserting
a plaintext sentence between the @node declaration and the @float table. 
See http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/38e64d9f0fda if you are
interested.  The fix will be available in the next major release of Octave,
3.8.
