Octave does not display the correct marker complexion

Question

What is wrong with my code?

octave:26> plot([1;2;3;4],[1;8;27;64], 'marker', 'o', 'linestyle', 'none', 'marker', 'o', 'markeredgecolor', 'red', 'markerfacecolor', 'black', 'markersize', 20);

It creates blue empty circles (with a white background in circles).

Version Information: GNU Octave, Version 3.2.4

This may be a version issue. Here is what I get with the latest version (3.6.1):

Are your colors upside down somehow? White and black are opposites, and red and blue are opposites. You can try different colors and see if they are systematically wrong. Does it work if you delete the edgecolor or facecolor specs?
