 This was reported by Alexandre Casamayou:
 {{{
 sage: var('n')
 n
 sage: assume(x<0)
 sage: sum (x^n/(2*n+1), n, 0, infinity)
 arctanh(sqrt(x))/sqrt(x)
 }}}
 In the last result {{{x}}} should be {{{-x}}} since x is negative.
 This is what we get if we replace {{{x}}} by {{{-y}}}:
 {{{
 sage: var('y')
 y
 sage: assume(y>0)
 sage: sum ((-y)^n/(2*n+1), n, 0, infinity)
 arctan(sqrt(y))/sqrt(y)
 }}}
