Why doesn't my Java frame appear on the right-click menu of the MATLAB 7.12 (R2011a) dock icon on a Mac OS 10.6.8?

When I execute the code below, a frame is shown, but the entry for the frame does not show up when I right-click on the MATLAB icon on the Dock:

f = javax.swing.JFrame('test');

f.setVisible(true);

This is a bug in MATLAB 7.12 (R2011a).

As a workaround:

Miniature versions of open windows will appear when clicking and holding the mouse down on the MATLAB icon in the Dock.
