Confirmed on Windows 10 with Octave-6.0.0(dev version)

This is really an intriguing one ... I have no idea what is going on.

I opened your file readtest.m in the Octave editor, changed the command 
xlsread('test.xlsx') 
into 
xlsread('test.xlsx', 1, '', 'oct')
selected it using the mouse cursor and pressed F9
Then I got a popup that h file was changed and if I wanted to save the
changes, which indicates the editor wants to close the file.

It is only with the (native) OCT interface that it happens. With COM (using
MS-Excel behind the scenes) I can't reproduce it.
