Reported but not fixed.

I believe Rik's last comment summarizes the possibilities, but we have
not decided what to do. Previous versions of Octave did promote the
operands to double and demote the result back to single.

This may not have been intentional. But in the future we may want to do
this more universally. There have been other bug reports, not related to
bsxfun, but about whether operations in general should be performed in
single or double precision.
