Hi Nik,
I am currently unable to compile in Ubuntu 20.04, so I am not running
the latest commits from dev, but with the compiled version I have I do
not see this problem.
It might be because I define my own prefix for octave. My octaverc files has

pkg prefix ~/.octave/ ~/.octave;

check if by changing the prefix your problem is solved.
