Comment(by jdemeyer):

 I think I just had a small break-through:

 The gp command now has the so-called "breakloop" on by default.  This
 means the following: if Sage executes a command through the gp interface
 which gives errors, the following will be displayed in the pseudo-tty
 (invisible to the Sage user):
 {{{
 ? 1/0
   ***   at top-level: 1/0
   ***                  ^--
   *** _/_: division by zero
   ***   Break loop: type 'break' to go back to GP
 break>
 }}}

 Now gp just waits for user input.  Since that input will never come, it
 just sits there forever.

 I have a temporary workaround for this:
 in the directory SAGE_ROOT/local/bin, move "gp" to "gp-real".  Then create
 the following shell script called "gp":
 {{{
 !/bin/bash

 mkdir -p $HOME/sage_debug
 export HOME=$HOME/sage_debug
 echo "breakloop = 0" >$HOME/.gprc

 # Remove --fast option
 exec $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/gp-real --emacs --quiet --stacksize 100000000
 }}}

 This changes $HOME and makes a .gprc file in it which disables the break
 loop.  It then runs gp without --fast, so that the .gprc file is read.
