Comment (by pbruin):

 A slightly simpler example:
 {{{
 (%i1) dg: diff(g(x), x);
                                    d
 (%o1)                              -- (g(x))
                                    dx
 (%i2) lim: limit(dg, x, 0);
                                       d
 (%o2)                          limit  -- (g(x))
                                x -> 0 dx
 (%i3) limit(lim, x, 0);
                                           d
 (%o3)                      limit  (limit  -- (g(x)))
                            x -> 0  x -> 0 dx
 (%i4) limit(lim, a, 0);
                                    d
 (%o4)                              -- (g(x))
                                    dx
 }}}
 In `%i3` the double limit over `x` is not simplified (this might be a
 different problem); in `%i4` taking the limit over `a` (which does not
 occur in the expression at all) removes the limit over `x`.
