Comment (by migeruhito):

 I performed my tests with maple 11. Prior to Maple 12, the only sort
 option available is session dependent, and I think `--setsort` option is
 not available. By including it, we will probably break the interface for
 older versions of maple. In the other hand, `--setsort=1` seems to be
 deterministic for these examples as mmezzarobba said, but it is the
 default from version 12. `sort()` is not necessary in this case.

 I think that "random" must be removed from the tests and `--setsort=1`
 must not be added in the call parameters of the maple interface. Then, the
 status of the question would be:

 * For Maple prior to v. 11, the tests will randomly pass.
 * For Maple from v. 10, the tests will probably pass. (From Maple
 documentation:: "The --setsort=orderNumber option changes the sort order
 for Maple sets". I believe that maple expressions are ordered like sets,
 but not sure).
