Comment(by spancratz):

 I've now finished the implementation, but I still need to re-base it.
 Here are some timings.  First, the old implementation:
 {{{
 sage: MS = MatrixSpace(CyclotomicField(10), 100, 100)
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element()')
 25 loops, best of 3: 17.5 ms per loop
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element(density=0.1)')
 25 loops, best of 3: 8.89 ms per loop
 sage: A = MS.random_element(density=0.1)
 sage: n(len(A.nonzero_positions())/10000)
 0.231700000000000
 }}}
 Second, the new implementation:
 {{{
 sage: MS = MatrixSpace(CyclotomicField(10), 100, 100)
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element()')
 25 loops, best of 3: 22 ms per loop
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element(density=0.1)')
 25 loops, best of 3: 9.36 ms per loop
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element(density=0.1, nonzero=True)')
 25 loops, best of 3: 9.35 ms per loop
 sage: timeit('A = MS.random_element(density=0.1, nonzero=False)')
 25 loops, best of 3: 9.37 ms per loop
 sage: A = MS.random_element(density=0.1, nonzero=True)
 sage: n(len(A.nonzero_positions())/10000)
 0.0963000000000000
 }}}
