Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for reporting this.

Octave is compatible with, but not a clone of, Matlab.  We occasionally make
different implementation choices from them.  In this case, the philosophy is
that we should replace the forbidden character in the original input rather
than just delete it.  The generated variable name is still valid, as
genvarname() output is required to be.  However, the Octave output is easier
to read than when all the spaces have been removed and the everything is
squished together.
