Comment (by kedlaya):

 I like this theory, but it seems like it would be more consistent with
 this output:
 {{{
 [(alpha, 1), ((-omega - 1)*alpha, 1), (omega*alpha, 1)]
 []
 [(alpha, 1), ((-omega - 1)*alpha, 1), (omega*alpha, 1)]
 []
 }}}
 where the polynomial ring gets created once and then never changes.
 Fortunately (?), this actually is the output that I get trying this on two
 different machines running 7.1, starting from an empty session, and on
 SMC, currently running 6.10. This behavior appears to be reproducible.

 However, I tried a development build I have on SMC (version 7.2beta6),
 again from an empty session:
 {{{
 [(alpha, 1), ((-omega - 1)*alpha, 1), (omega*alpha, 1)]
 [(alpha, 1), (omega*alpha, 1), ((-omega - 1)*alpha, 1)]
 [(alpha, 1), ((-omega - 1)*alpha, 1), (omega*alpha, 1)]
 []
 }}}
 This also appears to be reproducible.
