Checking an ideal over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ for primality

edit

I'm trying to check an ideal in a multivariate polynomial ring over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ for primality.

Using just a single variable, I can type

R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ.algebraic_closure())
print Ideal([x^2+2]).is_prime()

and Sage tells me that $\langle x^2+2\rangle$ is not prime in $\overline{\mathbb Q}[x]$, as expected.

However, as soon as I add another variable, e.g. R.<x,y> = ... I get the following output:

verbose 0 (3539: multi_polynomial_ideal.py, groebner_basis) Warning: falling back to very slow toy implementation.

Is there a way to work around this or is there really no implementation for primality checks in $\overline{\mathbb Q}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$?
