Comment (by cremona):

 I was a little hasty.  There's no problem in the non-arch local height
 being an exact log:
 {{{
 sage: P.nonarchimedian_local_height()
 1/2*log(25)
 sage: P.nonarchimedian_local_height(prec=53)
 1.60943791243410
 sage: RR(P.nonarchimedian_local_height())
 1.60943791243410
 }}}
 is all correct.  The problem is with this:
 {{{
 sage: P.archimedian_local_height()
 -0.2206607955468278522013468194382
 sage: P.archimedian_local_height(prec=53)
 -0.252952751464
 }}}
 where the first is correct as this shows:
 {{{
 sage: P.archimedian_local_height()+ P.nonarchimedian_local_height(prec=53)
 1.38877711688727
 }}}
 but the second is not.
