--- Comment #25 from Jerry <[email protected]> ---
I have just wasted time discovering this bug, and finding that it is already
known.
It seems to me to be worse than noted so far, since with A1=2 we get
[=-A1^2]: 4, [=0-A1^4]: -16, [=-A1^4 +0]: 16,  [=-(1+A1-1)^4]: 16, etc. which
seems inconsistent as well confusing.
I confess to not knowing that XL behaved this way, but do not consider that an
adequate response.   Imho, this is mathematically wrong, and this behaviour
needs at least to be flagged every time to unaware users (ie virtually all of
them).   The suggestion of replacing the formula with the bracketed version
seems the least that should be done.  
The designation  NOTABUG  seems wrong here,  and needs to be reviewed.
