Comment(by kcrisman):

 On [ this Maxima list thread] we get the original system in Maxima
 notation - thanks to Stavros Macrackis:
 {{{
 de1: diff(x1(t),t)=-3*(x2(t)^2-1);
 de2: diff(x2(t),t)=1;
 desolve([de1,de2],[x1(t),x2(t)]);
 }}}
 He also provides a simpler example which does this:
 {{{
 desolve([diff(f(x),x)=f(x^2)],[f(x)]);
 }}}
 The suggestion is that the ilt should be replacing the `?g1234` type
 variables (which are indeed dummy variables, but native Lisp ones) by
 Maxima-type ones, so I am putting to reported upstream, developers
 acknowledge bug.  However, my feeling is that we should fix this by
 parsing these things as well, should they come up again.
