The defect is in the fact that Maple attempts to translate
the Mathematica inputs it CANNOT translate correctly (you
are right here) - and does this without any warning.
The interested reader can find far much more about the
Maplesoft's development process instability, variegated
Maple crashes, howlers and other related stuff in the beta
0.2 of the Review of Maple Crisis we, together with the
VM machine, keep working on preparing to finish and release
soon after Maple 12 will be published
