I get a different value when calculating ellipticE directly and with mfun:
>> mfun('EllipticE',0.5)-ellipticE(0.5)
gives: 0.1168.
What am I missing?
I'm using Matlab 8.2.0.701 (R2013b).

After some more digging I found out that these two functions take slightly different inputs. ellipticE() assumes the input is square, so the following will be zero:
mfun('EllipticE',0.5)-ellipticE(0.5^2)
Case closed!
