I've thought about this long enough to know that I don't know. Maybe use the adjoint method for all symbolic matrices?
Surely there are articles about mixed symbolic / numerical matrix operations--I haven't looked.

At this point I think we've run into several problems caused by changing
the default matrix inversion method. I'd like to revisit that. I'm not
inclined to go back to the status quo ante but let's see if we can make
some other choice. How about this: use adjoint method if the matrix is
"small", otherwise use something else (code for inverse by LU
decomposition or Gaussian elimination already exist, I guess we could
write something else). What do you think of that?
