As it happens Scilab gives the same answer as octave.  I suppose it is a
question of what one might mean by s(i,j), all combinations of "i" and "j" or
specifically the list of i,j values.  I have to admit that I had always assumed
that it would use the list version, but clearly not!

The only alternative (as far as I know) would be to reshape s to a vector, find
the relevant values of s in this form, then reshape back to the matrix.
