Comment:

 I uploaded attachment:trac_8864-symbolic_zeta.take2.patch which also
 includes a fix for the `lfunctions/dokchitser.py` doctest. I simply
 replaced `zeta(2)` with `zeta(2)` to get a numeric evaluation.

 I agree that `pi+1.0` looks strange, but that is not so trivial to fix. :)
 FWIW, maple also seems to leave that unevaluated:
