I just ran that code in the version you indicate, R2014b. I get a different result than you do:
options = gaoptimset
options =
PopulationType: []
PopInitRange: []
PopulationSize: []
EliteCount: []
CrossoverFraction: []
ParetoFraction: []
MigrationDirection: []
MigrationInterval: []
MigrationFraction: []

StallTimeLimit: []
TolFun: []
TolCon: []
InitialPopulation: []

The results you show are more what you get when you use
options = gaoptimset(@ga)
options =
PopulationType: 'doubleVector'
PopInitRange: []
PopulationSize: '50 when numberOfVariables <= 5, else 200'
EliteCount: '0.05*PopulationSize'
CrossoverFraction: 0.8000
ParetoFraction: []
MigrationDirection: 'forward'
MigrationInterval: 20
MigrationFraction: 0.2000
Generations: '100*numberOfVariables'
TimeLimit: Inf
FitnessLimit: -Inf
StallGenLimit: 50
StallTest: 'averageChange'
StallTimeLimit: Inf
TolFun: 1.0000e-06
TolCon: 1.0000e-03
InitialPopulation: []
InitialScores: []
NonlinConAlgorithm: 'auglag'

PlotInterval: 1
CreationFcn: @gacreationuniform

Vectorized: 'off'
UseParallel: 0
but different -- for example PopulationSize is not a specific numeric value like you show.
Actual R2014b has TolFun which is the field you are looking for.
Is it possible you ran in R2014a instead of R2014b ?
