"f not in I" and singular errors during "lift" of a polynomial, but "f in I" returns True

I am trying to understand whether an ideal is the unit ideal and if so - to get the combination of the original generators that shows 1 is indeed there. For some odd reason checking whether 1 is there using

One in J_pairs

outputs True, but trying to get the polynomial coefficients using lift

One.lift(J_pairs)

raises an f not in I error. I also couldn't find any information about this error - maybe it's thrown in other cases, and it's just a misleading error message?

This error appears after several Singular errors, so I suspect the heart of the problem is at some type and conversion issue - but I also fail to find any information online about the raised lift(`ideal`,`number`) failed error (note my One is of the type sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_element.MPolynomial_polydict, which is a correct type for a polynomial to be lifted as far as I understand).

Would love some insight about this - to me it looks like a bug but I may well be doing something obviously stupid here that I fail to see.

Details to reproduce, including the errors traceback (was checked both on 8.6 and on 9.2 versions):
