Thank you for the report.
This is a small oversight in the new method for element order for 
automorphisms. It only arises if an automorphism phi has a power phi^n that 
will be given on a longer generating set. (Automorphisms of abelian groups are 
the prime case of this I think.)

This will be corrected in the next release.
