Comment(by cremona):

 I don't think Mathematica will be much help here:  evaluating derivatives
 of L-series of elliptic curves.

 I tried Magma, but as far as I can see they don't do derivatives.  They
 can evaluate the L-series, and I did a "poor man's derivative" evaluating
 (L(0.5+e)-L(0.5))/e for small e and the result seemed to converge to
 0.017188297766 and not anything like 0.305.

 So Dave's question about what's going on here does need to be answered.
