Obviously an (user) bug. The strings under comparison must have the same
length. I guess that each `case' just compare its arguments, and if they
are vectors they must have the same length. `switch' is nothing more
than `if-then-else'.

As a fix, you should try using `postpad' to make your argument the same
length as each comparison case.

But octave could be corrected, I guess.
