the bug is not in Maxima, but the problem is in the fact that sage has
keepfloat set to true. look at this:

(maxima called from sage wit your expr:1.4*(.1873*z+.1752)/(z-1)/(z-.
8187)  )

maxima: keepfloat:false
false
maxima: partfrac(expr,z)
1851969/(661600*(z-1))-1914101474313/(82700000*(9123*z-7469))
