There are external jobs started for "trivial" functionality -- for example, Maxima is invoked for things like symbolic logs and exponentials. There are highly non-trivial algorithms that are linked -- libsingular, for example -- that would not show up. I don't see how this is any different than giving references to a survey paper rather than the original article. I believe it is seen as bad form to refer to later summaries as opposed to the original work; I hope it is seen as bad form to neglect the valuable contributions doing the real work behind Sage. But in neither case is it easy to attribute credit (or blame).
