Hi Dimitri,
1) All the info I have lead to the conclusion that the x's come from
CauchyPrincipalValue and not from NIntegrate.
2) It is not so astonishing that NIntegrate needs many more point than
CauchyPrincipalValue. NIntegrate tries hard to integrate the steep
increase near -eps. CauchPrincipalValue however already knows that we
have a first order pole and can use this info.
3) Neither NIntegrate nor CauchyPrincipalValue have the attribute
"Listable". Therefore, you should not be able to give a List-argument.
Therefore, that this works nevertheless with NIntegrate is astonishing,
but it certainly does not work with CauchyPrincipalValue .E.g. instead,
you could say:
CauchyPrincipalValue[#, {x, 0, {Pi/2}, 3*(Pi/4)}, AccuracyGoal -> 20]&
