I also noticed that ctrl-d doesn't work (probably captured by the browser) so interactive subshells can't be left. This ought to be a general IPython notebook question, but I don't know the answer.
As you said, IPython distinguishes single percent = line, and double precent = cell magics. IMHO we should do as little processing on the cell magic as possible. Why muck around with whitespace, what if somebody wants to work with a Maxima string containing multiple consecutive spaces, etc. Same for semicolons. Just require valid Maxima input in a %%maxima cell.
