I couldn't reproduce the desired equation using the (patched) vect.mac.
However I don't know ANYTHING about this stuff...

Can maxima do this with vector field entities?
For example, if u and v are vector fields, how will maxima handle
curl(v cross u)
if it can return something like
u*div(v)-v*div(u)+(v dot del)u-(u dot del)v
and similar expressions for
divergence(v cross u)
grad(v dot u)
I would jump to it in a heartbeat...
