Dear Sage developers,

Here is a quick question about the output of the .coefficient() for an SR
object.
having set up the variables as follows

sage: var('x,y')
(x, y)

Shouldn't the output of the following commands be the same:

sage: ((x^2 - 2)^2 - y^2).coefficient(x^4)
0
sage: expand(((x^2 - 2)^2 - y^2)).coefficient(x^4)
1
sage: ((x^2 - 2)^2 - y^2).diff(x,4).subs(x==0)/factorial(4)
1

The last two outputs are correct but why is 0 the intended output for
  ((x^2 - 2)^2 - y^2).coefficient(x^4)   ?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Eyo,
