I was re-reading your message this morning an it suddenly struck me that 
this might be incorrect. When I enter the following:
------------------------------
kill(all)$
n:4$
sum(0^i, i, 0, n);
------------------------------

I get this result:
------------------------------
0^0 has been generated
  -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
------------------------------

So it seems you may have less difficulties than you indicate.

I hope the helps a little,
