 Multivariate powerseries over SR seem to work, but coercion does not. For
 example, the coercion from ZZ to QQ works fine:
 {{{
 sage: T.<a,b> = PowerSeriesRing(ZZ,2)
 sage: f = 1 + a + b + a*b + T.O(5)
 sage: 1/2 * f
 1/2 + 1/2*a + 1/2*b + 1/2*a*b + O(a, b)^5
 }}}
 but the same thing fails with SR:
 {{{
 sage: exp(2) * f
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call

 }}}
 Also, manually changing the base ring brings out the background polynomial
 variable:
 {{{
 sage: f.change_ring(SR)
 (Tbg*a*b + a + b)*Tbg + 1 + O(a, b)^5
 }}}
