Comment (by robertwb):

 Note that this behavior is not new

 {{{
 sage: parent(GF(5)['x']['y'].gen() / 2)
 Univariate Polynomial Ring in y over Fraction Field of Univariate
 Polynomial Ring in x over Finite Field of size 5
 }}}

 More generally, given an R-module M and an element in R0 such that R0 ->
 R1 -> ... -> Rn -> R, where along this chain should the multiplicative
 inverse be calculated? Maybe the first (last?) Ri that is already field?
 Starts to feel a bit ad-hoc...
