For some reason, there is no covering morphism available for the
quotient ring QQ[X]/(X^2). But when I take the polynomial ring in two
variables, everything is fine:

sage: R.<X> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: S = R.quo(X^2)
sage: S
Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in Xbar over Rational Field with
modulus X^2
sage: S.co (I pressed TAB here)
S.coerce_map_from       S.coerce_map_from_impl
S.construction
sage: S.co

And now:
sage: R.<X,Y> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: S = R.quo(X^2)
sage: S
Quotient of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in X, Y over Rational Field
by the ideal (X^2)
sage: p = S.cover()
sage: p(X)*p(X)
0
sage:

So, in two variables, everything is fine!

My SAGE version is:
sage: version()
'SAGE Version 3.0, Release Date: 2008-04-21'
