New issue 2876 by smi...@gmail.com: factor breaks power rules
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2876

I've found that factor is pulling a minus sign out from radicals and this is not always valid:

    >>> factor(sqrt(-x))
    I*sqrt(x)

If `x == 1` the unfactored form gives I and all is ok, but if `x == -1` then the unfactored form gives 1 whereas the factored form gives `I*I` == -1.
