Comment(by nbruin):

 Cremona may be agreeing with me but I don't think I agree with him. The
 other example
 {{{
         sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
         sage: EllipticCurve( x^3+1 )
         Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 1 over Rational Field
 }}}
 makes perfect sense to me and the present patch does fix that too. It
 matters whether a univariate or a bivariate polynomial gets put in.
 Perhaps this should go on another ticket, but a good start is here already
 and we'll never get such a nice ticket number (8192 is already gone).

 It is nice to recognise when a bivariate polynomial obviously defines a
 weierstrass normal form, but then you may as well just look at general
 cubics with a rational flex.
