Finding occasional inconsistencies when using matrices with cyclotomic 
entries, though works well most of the time...

sage: s=CyclotomicField(24,'s').gen()
sage: (8*s^6-1)^10                   
-1098715216*s^6 - 372960063
sage: xb=matrix(1,1,[8*s^6-1])       
sage: xb^10
[1036922553*s^6 - 372960063]

Above example is trivial computation, though problem recurs in several 
contexts.  I believe that scalar multiplication is correct and xb^10 
incorrect. Above example works OK when powers<10.  

Any suggestions?
