Comment (by burcin):

 Wouldn't changing `e.__pow__()` to be smarter work?

 The error message above is raised when you try convert a matrix to a
 symbolic ring element. In the new symbolics, the constant E (defined in
 `sage/symbolic/constants.py` has a `__pow__` method that essentially does
 `e^x -> SR(x).exp()`. (This was probably written by Mike.)

 If you change that to call `x.exp()` first, you might get what you want.
