This is definitely an example of where Sage and GAP differ in their approaches, but this is more about subgroups/subactions... and there hasn't been much discussion on this topic yet. GAP evaluates subgroups/subactions without regard for the degree of the original action. Thus, if you take your ty

Indeed, somehow people who wrote the permutation groups code in Sage kept forgetting that a permutation group is a pair (G,X), where G is a group and X is a set, on which G acts. Once you think that you can get away with permutations alone, you are doomed... (same would apply to any group actions,
