It seems likely to me that the behavior of Maxima when keepfloat = true is inconsistent with the documented effect of keepfloat; seems appropriate to me to report such behavior as a bug. That said, in the algorithms which seek exact solutions, Maxima is much more comfortable with exact quantities than floats. In the interest of getting predictable results I would advise to simply avoid keepfloat altogether. I don't really see the point of it; I haven't considered this too carefully, but I might be in favor of simply expunging it.
