mistake in a indefinite integral

Hi,

I'm trying to compute the integral:

integral(log(cot(x)-1),x,0,pi/4)

Sage (with version 5.4 and previous ones) tell that the integral is $-\infty$. But the integral converges, and it is is equal to $\frac{\pi\log(2)}8$.

I think this can be a bug. Maybe it is a Maxima issue, but it should be interesting to find where the bug is, and correct it, if possible.
