It looks like Sage is constructing the wrong crystals for the two spin weights. D5 does have two irreducible representations of dimensions 210 and 126 but their highest weights are not the spin weights s1=(1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2) and s2=(1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,-1/2) which are the two fundamental weights. Instead the highest weights of the representations with these degrees 210 and 126 are s1+s2 and 2*s1.
This appears to me to be a bug in the crystal code.
