May be I am missing something. Does typesetting of "diff" somehow
depend on typesetting of "integrate"?

If I try following in Sage (v3.4) I get "\partial" for function
with single variable. So it could be due to maxima-interface of Sage,
unless my sage installation is messed up.
-------------------------------------------
f(x) = function('f',x)
latex(diff(f(x),x))
---
{{{\it \partial}}\over{{\it \partial}\,x}}\,f\left(x\right)
-----------------------------------------
