The following snippet appears to exhibit a minor bug in base_ring:

sage: F.<z>=FiniteField(5^6)
sage: z.base_ring()
Finite Field of size 5
sage: a.parent()
Finite Field in z of size 5^6

According to the documentation, base_ring() "Returns the base ring of this 
element's parent (if that makes sense)."
