Hi,
consider the somewhat easier to interpret limit:
Limit[(1/n (-1)^(1/n)) / (1+1/n (-1)^(1/n)),{n->0}]
then Limit[(-1)^(1/n),n->0] has an absolute value of 1, provided we
define the limiting process so that it converges. Therefore, the
original limit should be considered as 1.
Therefore, I think this is a bug you should report to Wolfram.
regards, Daniel
