I would call it a bug, a side effect of trying to convert the argument to a complex number as a last resort. We also have: sage: n([1]) <boom> sage: n([1,2,3]) <boom> etc. The question is, do we want this case to also raise an error, or the function n() to iterate over the argument when it's iterable?
