Comment:

 Thanks to Barton Willis for this workaround.
 {{{
 This bug is due to circa January 2013 changes to matrix inversion. A
 workaround is to set ratmx to true:

 Maxima branch_5_30_base_98_g29f9239_dirty http://maxima.sourceforge.net
 using Lisp Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.9-r15764  (WindowsX8632)

 (%i1) matrixexp(matrix([%i*%pi]));

 Unable to find the spectral representation

 (%i2) matrixexp(matrix([%i*%pi])), ratmx=true;
 (%o2)                                 - 1
 }}}
 I've reported this [https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2596/ here].  I
 don't know if doing this ratmx thing universally is good, though:
 {{{
  if FALSE will cause determinant and matrix addition, subtraction, and
 multiplication to be performed in the representation of the matrix
 elements and will cause the result of matrix inversion to be left in
 general representation. If it is TRUE, the 4 operations mentioned above
 will be performed in CRE form and the result of matrix inverse will be in
 CRE form. Note that this may cause the elements to be expanded (depending
 on the setting of RATFAC) which might not always be desired.
 }}}
