When using multiline comments in octave mode, there is a "mismatched
parentheses" warning issued to the mini-buffer when closing the comment.
For example, the warning appears on the final "}" in the following code:
%{
blah blah blah
%}
There doesn't seem to be any problems with indentation. Also, I see the same
result for both "#{" and "%{"
Thanks for all your excellent work!

Indeed, that's a bug. A related bug that can be seen in all programming
modes is that if you type something like
// some comment (and some
// side note).
the final ) will not be matched to the opening (. It will either raise
a "mismatched parenthesis" warning or will be matched to some
unrelated open parenthesis.
Your case is slightly different since the paren is actually part
of the comment-marker rather than being inside the comment, but the
problem has basically the same origin.
I don't expect we'll fix this problem any time soon, tho.
