Comment (by nborie):

 --> Maybe the current algo only work for groups with no fixed points ?

 Yes, I think that is why the last code was restricted to transitive group.
 Anyway, the Moliens series is WELL defined for a finite group of matrices.
 So, for the trivial group, it depends how you see it as a group of
 matrices.

 Here, my PermutationGroup([[(5,)]]) forces to see it as a subgroup of the
 symmetric group of order 5 and my result correspond exactly to the q
 analogue of n! for n=5 (which give the dimension degree by degree of the
 co-invariant of S_5)
 {{{
 sage: G = PermutationGroup ([[(5,)]])
 sage: secondary_enumeration_polynomial(G)
 q^10 + 4*q^9 + 9*q^8 + 15*q^7 + 20*q^6 + 22*q^5 + 20*q^4 + 15*q^3 + 9*q^2
 + 4*q + 1
 sage: from sage.combinat.q_analogues import q_factorial
 sage: q_factorial(5)
 q^10 + 4*q^9 + 9*q^8 + 15*q^7 + 20*q^6 + 22*q^5 + 20*q^4 + 15*q^3 + 9*q^2
 + 4*q + 1
 }}}

 My last one example should be check with
 {{{
 sage: G = PermutationGroup([[(5,)]])
 sage: G.degree()
 5
 sage: G.molien_series() / SymmetricGroup(5).molien_series()
 .....
 }}}

 If I remember correctly, there are some other place in Sage in which fixed
 point did produce problems.
