Comment (by pbruin):

 The following still fails:
 {{{
 sage: f = Newforms(Gamma1(15), 3, names='a')[2]
 sage: f.atkin_lehner_eigenvalue(5)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 ValueError: q + a2*q^2 + (-a2 - 2)*q^3 - q^4 - a2*q^5 + O(q^6) is not an
 eigenform for W_5
 }}}
 This is wrong because `f` ''is'' an eigenform for `W_5`:
 {{{
 sage: f
 q + a2*q^2 + (-a2 - 2)*q^3 - q^4 - a2*q^5 + O(q^6)
 sage: _, g = f.atkin_lehner_action(5); g
 q + a2*q^2 + (-a2 - 2)*q^3 - q^4 - a2*q^5 + O(q^6)
 }}}
 The reason is probably that the parents of `f` and `g` are different:
 {{{
 sage: parent(f)
 Cuspidal subspace of dimension 8 of Modular Forms space of dimension 24
 for Congruence Subgroup Gamma1(15) of weight 3 over Number Field in a2
 with defining polynomial x^2 + 5
 sage: parent(g)
 Cuspidal subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Forms space of dimension 6,
 character [-1, 1] and weight 3 over Number Field in a2 with defining
 polynomial x^2 + 5
 }}}
