This appears to be triggered by keepfloat:true which I think Sage does, right? With keepfloat:false the error is avoided, if I'm not mistaken. Please file a report in the Maxima bug tracker, http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/bugs or thereabouts. Maxima strongly prefers exact (integer or rational) numbers to inexact (hardware or software floats). By default (i.e. keepfloat = false) the 2.0 is replaced by 2 before doing the Taylor series.
