I also noticed this yesterday. There are at least two individuals, in
addition to myself, who are working on this. I'd like to eventually
introduce a version that includes all of Matlab's functionality, for their
function of the same name. In the meantime, two versions have been posted on
Octave's message board that address this problem with pole multiplicity (but
do not yet include all of Matlab's functionality).

If anyone wants to help out, or make use of some of the corrected versions,
you can find them on Octave's message boad, look for the subject "residue()
confusion".

Unfortunately, it appears that 2.9.14 (at least on PowerPC), still
doesn't give an answer that agrees with the analytic one:

octave:1> num = [1 0 1];
octave:2> den = [1 0 18 0 81];
octave:3> [a,p,k,e] = residue(num,den)
a =

  8.4492e+06 - 3.9658e+06i
  8.4492e+06 + 3.9658e+06i
  -8.4492e+06 + 3.9658e+06i
  -8.4492e+06 - 3.9658e+06i

p =

   0. + 3.i
   0. - 3.i
  -0. + 3.i
  -0. - 3.i

k = [](0x0)
e =

   1
   1
   1
   1

And for reference, 2.9.14 on my Debian/x86 box gives:

octave2.9:1> num = [1 0 1];
octave2.9:2> den = [1 0 18 0 81];
octave2.9:3> [a,p,k,e] = residue(num,den)
a =

  7.4540e+03 - 9.9176e+06i
  7.4540e+03 + 9.9176e+06i
  -7.4540e+03 + 9.9176e+06i
  -7.4540e+03 - 9.9176e+06i

p =

   0. + 3.i
   0. - 3.i
  -0. + 3.i
  -0. - 3.i

k = [](0x0)
e =

   1
   1
   1
   1

So it appears upstream hasn't quite worked this out yet.
