Comment(by kcrisman):

 This is probably a bug in Maxima.
 {{{
 sage: integral(e^(-1/x^2),x,0,1)
 -1/2*gamma(-1/2, 1)
 sage: integral(e^(-1/x^2),x,0,1).n()
 -0.0890738558907803
 sage: n(1/2*gamma(-1/2,1))
 0.0890738558907803
 sage: numerical_integral(e^(-1/x^2),0,1)
 (0.08907385589078036, 1.4474177932169952e-15)
 }}}
 So probably a minus sign got in there somehow.

 This is now Maxima bug 3211937.
