Hi Martin (and Sage-devel),

I discovered that polynomial substitution is badly inconsistent between the
symbolic ring and multivariate polynomials:

sage: R.<x,y> = QQ[]
sage: f = x + 2*y
sage: f.subs(x=y,y=x)
3*y
sage: var('x,y')
sage: f = x + 2*y
sage: f.subs(x=y,y=x)
2*x + y

See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6873 for more and a proposal
about how to solve this.
