Comment:

 Ok. I had a look and the reason is because the inclusions are only
 implemented between the subfields:
 {{{
 sage: K = GF(5).algebraic_closure()
 sage: K2, phi2 = K.subfield(2)
 sage: K4, phi4 = K.subfield(4)
 sage: z2 = K2.gen()
 sage: K4(z2)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 TypeError: unable to coerce from a finite field other than the prime
 subfield
 }}}
 But the following works
 {{{
 sage: f24 = K.inclusion(2,4)
 sage: f24(K2.gen())
 z4^3 + z4^2 + z4 + 3
 }}}

 I will at least fix the `_roots_univariate_polynomial` using the inclusion
 morphism.
