Comment(by john_perry):

 It works (initially) if you do this:
 {{{
 sage: J = P.ideal([f,g])
 }}}
 ...but then you can't do anything with `J`. The characteristic isn't set
 in `R2`. Curiously, I can still work with ideals in `R2`.

 Likewise,
 {{{
 sage: Z7 = QuotientRing(ZZ,7*ZZ)
 sage: Z7.characteristic()
 ...
 NotImplementedError:
 }}}
 Wow. We should probably look at that one day. `;-)`

 Anyway, do you know offhand why one needs the characteristic, but not the
 other?
