I think it's more of a feature than a bug.
You've written "prime(i)", which is a string. 'i' in your program is
unknown to 'gp', so it ('gp') doesn't know what to do with it ('i').
You could do something like
nprimes.append(gp("prime("+str(i)+))"))
(and you want "range(1,n)", since 'prime(0)' is undefined ;-})
