In your case octave interprets + as unary operator, use in []
 `a+b' or `a + b'  but not `a +b' - see below:

octave:3> [0.0130853+0.00915463j, 1]
ans =

  0.01309 + 0.00915i  1.00000 + 0.00000i

octave:4> [0.0130853 +0.00915463j, 1]
ans =

  0.01309 + 0.00000i  0.00000 + 0.00915i  1.00000 + 0.00000i

octave:5> [0.0130853 + 0.00915463j, 1]
ans =

  0.01309 + 0.00915i  1.00000 + 0.00000i
