I noticed the following:

F = GF(7)
L.<t> = PowerSeriesRing(F,'t')
R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(L,'x,y')
vector(R.gens())

gives


(x, y)


But

F = GF(2)
L.<t> = PowerSeriesRing(F,'t')
R.<x,y> = PolynomialRing(L,'x,y')
vector(R.gens())


gives

I assume this is because power series over GF(2) are implemented specially 
(and more efficiently) than over arbitrary finite ground field. Still I 
would like to get the code to run in the second setting. Does anybody know 
how to do it? (This is really two questions: "does anybody know how to fix 
the implementation of PowerSeriesRing(GF(2))?" And "does anybody know a 
quick workaround?")
