If you don't close a MATLAB code section properly, e.g. this: bug.md, where I have copy-pasted the matlab flag at the end of the section, you get this message when executing docerrun.
Warning: Error: Invalid text character. Check for unsupported symbol, invisible
character, or pasting of non-ASCII characters.

This lead me hunting for non-ASCII characters, until I eventually spotted the syntax error.
MATLAB treats the bad close as part of the expression to be evaluated. That is what leads to the error message.

GitHub automatically closes the unclosed Markdown to yield valid HTML. That is beyond my control. I don't want to get into client-side parsing of Markdown to double check.
Given the resulting HTML, the error message is reasonable, if not particularly clear.
The best I could do would be to augment MATLAB errors with identifier MATLAB:m_illegal_character in docerrun. This supposes that a common type of error is to incorrectly close a code block; I'm not sure that it is.
