Comment(by dsm):

 Looks like a simple type error somewhere.  Fails for integers, works for
 rationals:

 {{{

 sage: M
 [ 2  2  2]
 [ 0  0  0]
 [-2 -2 -2]
 sage: parent(M)
 Full MatrixSpace of 3 by 3 dense matrices over Integer Ring
 sage: M.jordan_form(transformation=True)
 (
 [0 1|0]
 [0 0|0]  [ 2  1  1]
 [---+-]  [ 0  0  0]
 [0 0|0], [-2  0 -1]
 )
 }}}

 but

 {{{
 sage: (M/1).jordan_form(transformation=True)
 (
 [0 1|0]
 [0 0|0]  [ 2  1  0]
 [---+-]  [ 0  0  1]
 [0 0|0], [-2  0 -1]
 )
 sage: parent(M/1)
 Full MatrixSpace of 3 by 3 dense matrices over Rational Field
 sage: (M/1).jordan_form(transformation=True)
 (
 [0 1|0]
 [0 0|0]  [ 2  1  0]
 [---+-]  [ 0  0  1]
 [0 0|0], [-2  0 -1]
 )
 sage: J, P = (M/1).jordan_form(transformation=True)
 sage: J == P**(-1)*M*P
 True
 }}}

 Will see if I can track it down.
