Some things to test:

  function f (jet)
    jet
  end

  function f (jet)
    if (nargin == 0)
      jet
    elseif (nargin == 1)
      x = jet
    end
  end

call both with

  f (1)
  f (0)

Another:

  function f ()
    jet = 1;
    clear jet
    jet
  end

Not that it would be very hard to fix, but I hope there isn't any code 
in Octave that actually depends on the current behavior...
