Yeah, and this is connected to the changes in how we print "symbolic
derivatives" from a year or two ago.  I don't want to touch this code
because of the potential to mess up how theoretical physics folks need
this, but I think it should look more like Maxima or something that
just leaves these unevaluated.  I don't know that this will get fixed
anytime soon, though.
