New description:

 If you try to hash a mutable sequence, Sage complains that immutable
 sequences are unhashable..

 {{{
 sage: a = Sequence([1,2,3])
 sage: hash(a)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call
 last)

 /Applications/sage_devel/<ipython console> in <module>()

 /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-
 packages/sage/structure/sequence.pyc in __hash__(self)
     517         """
     518         if not self._is_immutable:
 --> 519             raise ValueError, "immutable sequences are unhashable"
     520         if self.__hash is None:
     521             self.__hash = hash(tuple(self))

 ValueError: immutable sequences are unhashable
 }}}

 which is backwards; immutable sequences are the only ones that are
 hashable.
