Doh!  2.1.48 still has the problem, it appears

loading custom stuff
octave:1> ls
hello.m
octave:2> LOADPATH
LOADPATH = /home/ripper/m//::
octave:3> hello
error: `hello' undefined near line 3 column 1
octave:3> LOADPATH= "/home/ripper/m//:"
LOADPATH = /home/ripper/m//:
octave:4> hello
hello

It is working well enough. "::" at the end of the LOADPATH doesn't do
what it used
to anymore, and this is inconsistent with the 'help LOADPATH' blurb as
far as I can
tell, but I'm fine.

OTOH, the fix for the bug in 2.1.48 was very simple, and is available at
http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/bug-octave/2003/155,
so if you want to move to a newer version, you might try 2.1.48 plus
this one patch.  That would be more helpful to me than having everyone
using older versions.
