The following construction does not work in Octave 2.0.13:

do_fortran_indexing=1;
A=zeros(4);
j=[1 4 6 7 10 13];
A(j)=2;

But it is OK to say:

A(j)=2*ones(size(j));

The error message is:

error: A(I) = X: X must be a scalar or a matrix with the same size as I

which seems to suggest that the construction should work.
