I think that this is a problem inherent to the way that sage
communicates to maxima. And would be difficult to correct unless every
symbolic variable/function has a different maxima, pari etc. name that
does not cause this problem.
For example I would not like the following to be supported
sage: n=var('7')
sage: n
7
sage: n+1
7 + 1
sage: n^2+n
7^2 + 7
sage: maxima(n+1)
8
