Details:

'isequal' does not work when called on objects:

octave> a=myclass; b=myclass;
octave> isequal(a,b)
error: find: wrong type argument `class'
error: called from:
error: octave/scripts/general/private/__isequal__.m at line 147, column 11

Correct behaviour should be comparing all property values (ie the underlying
structure) - it seems to be what MATLAB does (and it doesn't even attempt
apparently to call overloaded methods eq.m or ne.m event if they are defined).
