The __call__ function for a non-prime field yes, was already defined.
What wasn't was the conversion of a gap non-prime field into a sage
prime field. Something like
sage: K = gap("GF(16)")
sage: K.sage()
didn't work before (because in gap there is no need to specify the
generator name), and that prevented doing automatic conversion of gap
finite field elements into sage finite field elements. The problem
with cyclotomic elements was something similar (there wasn't a sage()
method defined for gap cyclotomic fields).

That's awesome! Hope it arrives soon! :-D
