Ok, I've confirmed that the same values are being passed in to both
versions of lapack from Octave, one calls the internal error handler and
one does not. This is due to a fix in lapack that the norm of any matrix
containing a NaN is now NaN. This confirms that the new behavior is
correct and it should be erroring out. Therefore (1) in my comment #14
is not a bug.

So the remaining bug is that Octave is no longer able to handle lapack
errors due to a change in how the lapack package is built on Ubuntu.
I'll rename this appropriately and follow up to see if anything can be
done in either Octave or lapack or both.
