I've read through the code and this is indeed the problem. It calls 
WeierstrassForm from schemes.toric which only implements the short version.

Fernando Rodriguez Villegas has some code available for 
Pari/GP http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/villegas/cnt/cnt-frames.html in 
"jacobians" which works in any characteristic.
