I haven't looked at your code but I can tell you handling branch cuts
computationally can be a subtle problem. I would try to see if Frederich
(the author of mpmath) is around and ask him. I think he's thought about
these things a lot. IIRC, Prof James Davenport told me once that there
was an edition of Abramowitz and Stegun which had a function
with one branch cut in one *printing* and another branch cut
in another printing of the same edition! So, even the best can make
mistakes.
