Yup. Most matrix classes seem to use a common method for printing,
while the 'mod 2' matrix implementation has its own "stringify" method.
There may be a good explanation for this, but commenting out the mod2
method seems to have the right effect without damaging anything else.
At least with minimal testing.

I'm not sure I understand. For other than the mod 2 elements, show(X)
produces an image of a subdivided matrix. Do you mean just in the mod
2 case?

I think it qualifies as a bug, and I've created a Trac report for the
problem:

Thanks for reporting this.
