That's the tested/suggested setup, text console. It's suggested in the
first lines of the tutorial file, where it says:

% ******************************************
% You might want to * alias matlab='matlab -nosplash -nojvm' *
% ******************************************
% MPITB is not compatible with the Java engine

If I remember well, MATLAB R12 had problems after spawning children
(spawn call would never return due to some signal mask setup in MATLAB
 code). Also I had problems with keyboard locale, so I didn't try it
further. I directly suggest text console with MATLAB R13. We might try
the gui again with R13, if you are interested... after we solve your
text console problem, of course :-)

Perhaps you left the "alias -nojvm" hanging around in your .bashrc?
Please followup to my e-mail address. Hope we can solve it promptly
(and perhaps I can convince you to take a second try with MPITB :-)
