While that fixes the infinite loop, it only works around another issue that 
is uncovered, namely that the x in the polynomial returned by charpoly() is 
not accessible to the user:

sage: P
x^4 - 5/4*t*x - 2*t
sage: P - x^4
x^4 - 5/4*t*x - x^4 - 2*t

The reason is apparently that the polynomial ring was not created by the 
user on the command line but by the charpoly() code. This shows for example 
also with:

sage: QQbar(sqrt(2)).minpoly()
x^2 - 2
sage: _ + x^2
x^2 + x^2 - 2

i would consider this a high priority bug. Is there a ticket?
