Comment (by nbruin):

 GP instructions illustrating the problem:
 {{{
 poly=x^4 - 4294967296*x^2 + 54265257667816538374400
 L=polred(poly,3)
 elt=Mod(L[4,1],poly)
 minpoly(elt)
 factor(L[4,2])
 }}}
 The documentation of polred promises that `L[4,2]` is a minimal
 polynomial, so it should be square-free (and it's not ...)
