Thanks for this bug report.  I think that this is an upstream problem. 
The functions rectangle_sw, rectangle_lw, triangle_sw, and triangle_lw 
have been made private in this commit:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/0fed4935de94

By the same occasion, the corresponding @DOCSTRING() directives for 
those functions should have been removed from signal.txi, but they are 
still there:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/d70c99028ba3/doc/interpreter/signal.txi

I will file a bug report upstream on this issue.

Best,

Rafael
