Comment (by pbruin):

 I don't know enough about ''p''-adic ''L''-series, but why exactly is
 `prec=1` a meaningless argument?  It should give you precisely enough
 information to get the 0-th coefficient.  (If I understand correctly,
 `prec` is not the ''p''-adic precision, but the power series precision; it
 does influence the ''p''-adic working precision.)  Am I correct that it
 would make sense for `series()` to return the same result for `prec=1` as
 for `prec=2` but with the series truncated to `O(T^1)`?

 Setting `padic_prec=5` in the case `prec=1`, as in my above comment, is
 probably indeed a mistake; it seemed a reasonable extrapolation from the
 formula `padic_prec = max(bounds[1:]) + 5` used for `prec >= 2`.
