Interesting experiment.

Your methodology for "diffs back" assumes
correctly computing the derivative and correctly
comparing symbolic expressions and for the latter
counterexamples are known [1]

bool( sqrt((a+b)^2) == sqrt(a^2) + sqrt(b^2) )
True

btw, I get:
'sage.rings.complex_interval.ComplexIntervalFieldElement' object has no 
attribute 'cot'

when trying your |check| on this:

-arctan(cot(pi*x))/pi + 1/2 #fractional part of x
