polynomials rings over transcendental field extensions

edit

Hi all:

It looks like working with polynomial rings over transcendental field extensions still doesn't work in Sage. Am i doing something wrong below? The same computation works in Singular, giving the correct answer of the ideal generated by x*y.

sage: R0. = PolynomialRing(QQ); R0 Univariate Polynomial Ring in q over Rational Field

sage: k= FractionField(R0); k Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in q over Rational Field

sage: R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(k); R Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y over Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in q over Rational Field

sage: I = R.ideal((qxy)^2); I Ideal (q^2x^2y^2) of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y over Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in q over Rational Field

sage: I.radical()
