Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for the report.  I can confirm this behavior for the current stable
and dev version of Octave.  Interesting is that Matlab R2019a is not able to
get the inputname of "pi" at all:


>> obj = some_class();             
>> some_method (obj, pi)           
[obj]
[]
>> obj.some_method (pi)            
[obj]
[]


I modified your method to print both inputnames:


fprintf('[%s]\n', inputname(1));
fprintf('[%s]\n', inputname(2));
