The K.<> = ... syntax injects a names=(...) keyword argument on the right
hand side:
sage: preparse('K.<k> = f()')
"K = f(names=('k',)); (k,) = K._first_ngens(1)"
So what you probably want is:
sage: x = polygen(QQ)
sage: sage_eval("NumberField(x^2 + x - 1/2, embedding=0.366,
names=('x',))", locals={'x':x})
Number Field in x with defining polynomial x^2 + x - 1/2
