Hmm, looking at the source code, this is a bug in 'mad'. You can fix
this manually, by changing the line 

  if (nargin != 1 || nargin != 2)

to

  if (nargin != 1 && nargin != 2)

I've fixed this in SVN, so you can also get an updated version from
http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main/statistics/inst/mad.m?revision=5348

Thanks for bringing this to attention,
Søren
