I think the answer to my actual question should be:
sage.calculus.calculus.maxima('radexpand:all');
sage.calculus.calculus.maxima('rootsconmode:all');
Seems that with these setting one can avoid also other pitfalls when comparing expressions involving sqrts, e.g.
assume(x>0)
bool(sqrt(x^3)/x==sqrt(x))
should give True, which it does with the settings, but not without.
