Dear Nils, thanks for preparing the corresponding issue on GitHub.
Let me just comment on your words "searching the source, this routine isn't actually used elsewhere in sage" (here: https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/37657). It is not entirely true, because, as far as I know, the method is_padic_square (in the class of a number field element) internally relies on the quadratic_defect. BTW, it puzzles me why quadratic_defect is a method of a number field and is_padic_quare of its element. But it is a different story. Thanks, P.K.
