No you misunderstood nothing. In Octave 3.0.x the tick position are
calculated when they are drawn. Therefore the get(gca(),'xtick') command
return [] which of course has no zero index. This might be fixed in dateaxis
with

x = get (gca(), strcat (ax, "tick);
if (isempty (x))
  # Must be 3.0.x. Force drawnow to get the ticks right
  drawnow ();
   x = get (gca(), strcat (ax, "tick);
endif

the workaround for you is

x=732000:732010;
plot(x,x);
drawnow();
dateaxis("x"); % I get the same result with and without "x".
ticks=get(gca(), "xtick") % this is a diagnostic, returning [](0x0)
