At my machine, I get the following:

Integrate[1/(a*x^2 + b*x + c/4)^n, x];
FullSimplify[%];
D[%, x];
FullSimplify[%]

(c/4 + x*(b + a*x))^(-n)

Integrate[1/(a*x^2 + b*x + c/4)^n, x]
FullSimplify[%]
D[%,x]
InputForm[FullSimplify[%]] ==>

    (4^n*(-1 + n)*Gamma[1 - n]*
   (-1 + (1/2 + (b + 2*a*x)/(2*Sqrt[b^2 - a*c]))^n*
     (-1 + Gamma[2 - n])*Hypergeometric2F1Regularized[
      1 - n, n, 2 - n, 1/2 - (b + 2*a*x)/
        (2*Sqrt[b^2 - a*c])]))/(c + 4*True*(b + a*True))^n

notice the denominator has some variable "True" in it.

Cheers.
