New description:

 {{{
 print type(int(3) + 3)
 print type(int(3) * 3)
 print type(3 ^ int(3))
 print type(int(3) ^ 3)
 }}}
 first three are Sage Integers but last one is just a Python int.
 Worse still:
 {{{
 sage: int(3)^-3
 0.037037037037037035
 sage: type(int(3)^-3)
 <type 'float'>
 sage: int(3)^QQ(-3)
 1/27
 sage: type(int(3)^QQ(-3))
 <type 'sage.rings.rational.Rational'>
 }}}
 is very inconsistent. As well as
 {{{
 sage: p(x)=x^-3
 sage: p(int(3))
 1/27
 }}}
