This is a bug, d0 and -d0 have not been recognized as dummy indices and are
not contracted. I think I'll have a look tomorrow.
In the meantime, you can use this workaround, replace it into your last
line:
gR = tensor_mul(Rational(1,2)*g(-a,-b) * R)
gR = TensMul(*gR.args)
Ric(a,-b) - gR
This basically forces reconstruction of the tensor, and the dummy index
gets recognized this time.
