Presumably, this is due to a missing autoload file in app-emacs/matlab-3.3.2_pre20130829. Closing as duplicate of bug 698006.

This still has the following as newest matlab version:

> 2019-10-17T09:19:43 >>> app-emacs/matlab-3.3.6_pre20191010

Problem should be fixed with app-emacs/matlab-3.3.6_pre20191010-r1 and app-emacs/desktop+-0.2-r2.
