Identity in a quotient Group

Hello everyone, I have the following groups

F3.<a1,b1,a2,b2,a3,b3> = FreeGroup()
H3 = F3.quotient([a1*b1/a1/b1*a2*b2/a2/b2*a3*b3/a3/b3])

Then I inject the variables to H3

H3.inject_variables()

Now when every element that I write have parent H3, but when I write the word a1*b1/a1/b1*a2*b2/a2/b2*a3*b3/a3/b3 this does not return the identity of H3, although if I put

a1*b1/a1/b1*a2*b2/a2/b2*a3*b3/a3/b3 == H3.one()

this is true. Does anyone know why this happen and how can I get sage to reduce this word to identity of H3?
