Fooling around with a ask.sagemath question <https://ask.sagemath.org/question/51659/desolve-wrong-solution/>, and perusing the known symbolics problems (most notably Trac#21789 <https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21789>), I was led to reported solve problems. It seems that some tickets such as Trac#24102 <https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24102> and Trac#24477 <https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24477> may have a common root problem, which seems to be the mishandling of symbolic constants confused with variables in the Maxima interface.
I am out of my depth here, but put this note to the attentin of people knowing the implementation of this interface.
