Comment (by nbruin):

 A quick test reveals that:
 {{{
 P.<X,Y,Z> = CC[]
 C = Curve(X)
 self = C
 d = self.codimension()
 minors = self.Jacobian_matrix().minors(d)
 I = self.defining_ideal()
 minors = tuple([ I.reduce(m) for m in minors ])
 }}}
 (Who ever thought that "Jacobian" was a good name for the singular
 subscheme? I think most algebraic geometers expect something else when
 they ask for the Jacobian of a curve).

 and a little look indeed shows that this code tries to use "singular"'s
 reduce (the ideal gets reconstructed several times), and I think it does
 so successfully (does singular now allow rings with float coefficients?),
 so it looks indeed like a mismatch in ring deletions. It may be a good
 test case, because the ring really gets constructed internally, via a
 `_singular_` method.
