The output:
inf-nani <-- "incorrect" according to the quoted page
inf+1i <-- correct
It's because 0.0L * (-real.infinity) evaluates to nan.
Has this been submitted as a bug report?

It's more a fundamental problem with a complex type in general. C++
has this issue as well. You need a purely imaginary type with the
appropiate operations between Complex and Imaginary defined.
But that originates as a call to multiplication between two Complex
numbers. Can't the problem be addressed at that level?
