Comment(by SimonKing):

 I found where the critical change has happened: #10859 deprecates
 _is_real, _is_positive and so on, and with #10903, we have
 {{{
 sage: print x._is_constant.__name__
 None
 }}}

 `_is_constant` is a deprecated alias for `is_constant`. I think it would
 be a bad idea to use the name `"is_constant"` for `_is_constant` (note the
 underscores), because otherwise the docbuilder might think that the
 deprecated function has to be documented.

 Perhaps the easiest solution is to make the lazy attribute `__name__`
 raise an `AttributeError`, rather than returning `None`. That would
 certainly make the docbuilder happy, because it tests `if
 hasattr(obj,'__name__') and obj.__name__.find('.') != -1 and
 obj.__name__.split('.')[-1] != name): ..."`.
