Description changed by dimpase:

Old description:

> I test
> {{{
> sage: var ('n,k')
> sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 0, n)  # is right
> sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 1, n)  # is right n(n+1)2^(n-2)
> sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 2, n)  # is false : I get 0
> }}}

New description:

 I test
 {{{
 sage: var ('n,k')
 sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 0, n)  # is right
 sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 1, n)  # is right n(n+1)2^(n-2)
 sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 2, n)  # is false : I get 0
 }}}

 This works correctly on Maxima 5.26 - we need to upgrade!
