Comment #3 on issue 3892 by [email protected]: powdenest won't denest a product base (even with force=True)
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3892

For the case of a product it mentions computing the gcd of bases or exponents, neither of which are computable in the case you gave.

    Given a product of powers raised to a power, ``(bb1**be1 *
    bb2**be2...)**e``, simplification can be done as follows:

    - if e is positive, the gcd of all bei can be joined with e;

var('i j k', positive=1)
(i, j, k)
powdenest((i**2*j**4)**k)
(i*j**2)**(2*k)

    - all non-negative bb can be separated from those that are negative
      and their gcd can be joined with e; autosimplification already
      handles this separation.

I'm not sure what this one looks like :-(
