It's strange, but I have tried this:

sage: eq = 9*x^6 + 4*x^4 + 3*x^3 + x - 17 == 0
sage: s = eq.solve(x, to_poly_solve = True)
sage: s
[0 == 9*x^5 + 9*x^4 + 13*x^3 + 16*x^2 + 16*x + 17, x == 1]
sage: s[0].solve(x, to_poly_solve = True)
[x == -1.10301507538, x == (-0.491102035999 - 0.988331495372*I), x == (0.542609572314 + 1.05431152069*I), x == (10757/10884*I - 3008/6125), x == (-2213/2099*I + 1127/2077)]

I expected the to_poly_solve option to work in the first case, but it didn't.
