I thinks it's because we didn't do exactly the same test :

In [17]: exp(O(x)).nseries()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError            
[...]
ValueError: Could not calculate 6 terms for exp(O(x))


I can reproduce the following successes.
> >>> exp(O(x)).nseries(x)
> >>> exp(O(x)).nseries(x,n=6)

I do not reproduce the following ValueError
> >>> exp(O(x)).series(x,n=2)
[...]

I suspect you edited your input, because I have :

In [24]: exp(O(x)).nseries(x,n=2)
Out[24]: 1 + O(x)

In [25]: exp(O(x)).nseries(n=2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                             Traceback (most recent call last)
[...]
ValueError: Could not calculate 2 terms for exp(O(x))


So the pattern seems to be exp(O(x)).nseries(x,n=N) can raise a
ValueError when N is too big, while exp(O(x)).nseries(n=N) fails
gracefully. Is there any logic behind that ?
