`distance` function doesn't work for ellipsoid

e_84 = referenceEllipsoid('wgs84');
[d_84, b_84] = distance([1,2], [30,90], e_84);
throw

I found that it's a bug in
.../toolbox/map/map/private/geodesicinv.m
Two places of
flat = ecc2flat(ellipsoid);
should be changed to
flat = ecc2flat(ellipsoid(2));
