Comment (by vdelecroix):

 In the description there is
 {{{
 Perhaps the error is just bad, but it should be able
 to compute this by extending to a field with sqrt(2).
 }}}
 Note that the following works, but it is not very direct
 {{{
 sage: (2+t).change_ring(QuadraticField(2)).sqrt()
 a + 1/4*a*t - 1/32*a*t^2 + 1/128*a*t^3 - ... + O(t^20)
 }}}
