Hi Andrzej,

Same behavior on my system.

In[1]:=
$Version

Out[1]=
5.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 20, 2005)

In[2]:=
Series[ArcCosh[x], {x, 0, 11}]

Out[2]=
     Floor[Arg[x]/(2 Pi)]
(-1)

   SeriesData[Global`x, 0,

     I            -I     -3 I     -5 I     -35 I
    {- Pi, -I, 0, --, 0, ----, 0, ----, 0, -----, 0,
     2            6       40      112      1152

     -63 I
     -----}, 0, 12, 1]
     2816

In[3]:=
ArcCosh[x] + O[x]^12

Out[3]=
ArcCosh[x] + SeriesData[Global`x, 0, {}, 12, 12, 1]

In[4]:=
Series[ArcSinh[x], {x, 0, 11}]

Out[4]=
SeriesData[Global`x, 0,

            1      3         5        35
   {1, 0, -(-), 0, --, 0, -(---), 0, ----, 0,
            6      40       112      1152

       63
    -(----)}, 1, 12, 1]
      2816

In[5]:=
ArcSinh[x] + O[x]^12

Out[5]=
SeriesData[Global`x, 0,

            1      3         5        35
   {1, 0, -(-), 0, --, 0, -(---), 0, ----, 0,
            6      40       112      1152
