OK, you are only half-wrong!
Here it is: you have misused both save and savematfile by using a 
calling sequence that does not make sense (this is where you are wrong).
There is no mention in the help page of savematfile or save of the usage 
of a 1D vector of names of variables to save (what you have done).
The result you obtained with save is as expected: as explained in the 
help page, it uses the deprecated syntax and consider your 1D vector as 
the variable to save.
However, savematfile should not have worked and that's where you are 
right: there is a bug.
The bug is either in the help page of savematfile that omits the calling 
convention you have used or in savematfile that should have complained 
about you using a calling sequence that does not make sense.

Cheers,

Antoine
