Sorry, I'm afraid this is a bug in Maxima. But it has been fixed in
the source code.
A simple way to reproduce this problem is simply:
%e^(-%i*sqrt(q))
The bug is in function complex-number-p. This has been fixed in CVS,
but not in the released version 5.12. To update a running Maxima, save
the attached file cnump.lisp and load it into your Maxima system using
the load function.
