Can anyone reproduce this?  I get

sage: E=EllipticCurve('11a1'); E.modular_degree()
1

on 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS (i.e., sage.math.washington.edu) with 4.5.2,
4.5.3, and 4.6.alpha3.  I get the same output with 4.5.{1,2,3} and
4.6.alpha3 on OS X 10.6 (bsd.math, 32-bit build).

Gagan, can you tell us more about your installation and system?  Did you
install a pre-compiled binary, and if so, which one, or compile from
scratch?  What are your hardware specs and OS version?  If you compiled
from scratch, what happens if you reinstall the SYMPOW package with

cd SAGE_ROOT
./sage -f spkg/standard/sympow-1.018.1.p7.spkg

and rerun the example?
