Thanks for your answers.
I realize that the problem is because I am working over a polynomial
ring over the symbolic ring, but I don't see why that should be
forbidden. Especially, since simplifying in a polynomial ring simply
involves simplifying each coefficient.
Anyway, I tried working over QQ

For the kind of operations you are doing, you should work in QQ[]

Don't use polynomial rings over the "symbolic ring" -- the "symbolic
ring" is not really

Here's another simple example of basic simplifications that aren't
processed:
P.=SR[]
F=P.fraction_field()
print F(x/x)
print simplify(F(x/x))
Output:
x/x
x/x
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix/circumvent these
problems?
Thanks,
