That's odd. I get the same behavior in sage8.9 and my current develop
branch of sage.
Annoyingly, I notice that if you get the Taylor series as you might in a
calculus class, by first getting the Taylor series and then integrating
it term by term, it comes out differently (and correctly).
var('t')
littlef(t) = taylor(sin(t)/t, t, 0, 10)
bigf(x) = integrate(littlef(t), t, 0, x)
x |--> -1/439084800*x^11 + 1/3265920*x^9 - 1/35280*x^7 + 1/600*x^5 - 1/18*x^3 +
x
I don't know why what you tried fails. This seems to be a bug.
On the trac, this seems closely related to
1. https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/11164
2. https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30389
