I'll fix this as it is my code. Note that this curve has j=0 and the cases of j=0, 1728 were not implemented with any efficiency (or, it seems correctness), but that I am half-way through doing that. In the meantime I'll try to put in a quick patch to correct what's wrong here. First step,

I have posted a patch for this on trac #2849. The bug would strike for any curve with j=0 (=1728) defined over GF(3^d) for odd d. Assuming someone reviews this positively it will get into sage-3.0. It is also likely that by then there will be much better support for the cases j=0 and j=1728
