I run it on my local machine.

I don't know if that can make a difference, but I run Octave from inside
Emacs, using M-x run-octave RET.  If I am not wrong, Emacs sets up a
ptty to run asynchronous subprocesses this way.

I am trying the same at home, where I have a similar installation...

1) when running Octave from inside Emacs, it hangs after the *first*
   plot, rather than the second as it happens on my office box.
   Unfortunately, this is not always reproducible.  Trying again gives
   no problem...

2) when running Octave from inside a terminal (rxvt), I do not see the
   problem

Maybe a race somewhere?

By the way, the problem I reported in the other bug report, about the
plot window not showing the plot line until resized, only happens when
running Octave from inside Emacs.
