There is now a version-mismatch detection mechanism in SageTeX (use a current version, and look at the top of the generated .sage file) but the last version in TeXLive didn't have that mechanism. I asked the TeXLive people to remove SageTeX before I figured out the version-mismatch stuff, and I'm not sure about asking them to put SageTeX back in.
