Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Simpler example
 {{{
 sage: a = AA(3).sqrt() + AA(2).sqrt() - AA(3).sqrt() - AA(2).sqrt()
 sage: a
 0.?e-18
 sage: a == 0
 True
 sage: a
 0
 }}}
 But what is wrong with it? It is just a change in the display? You think
 that we should have a string representation that is independent of what is
 known about the number?
