Mathematica 7.01 with MacOS 10.5.7 produces the following:

In[78]:= InverseLaplaceTransform[LaplaceTransform[BesselI[1, t], t, s], s, t]
Out[78]= Sqrt[=CF=80] InverseLaplaceTransform[=E2=89=A5 {
     {-(s/Sqrt[=CF=80]), s < 1},
     {((s (-1 + s/Sqrt[-1 + s^2]))/Sqrt[=CF=80]), s > 1},
     {0,
        TagBox["True",
         "PiecewiseDefault",
         AutoDelete->False,
         DeletionWarning->True] }
    }/s, s, t]

In[91]:= LaplaceTransform[InverseLaplaceTransform[s*Exp[(-a)*Sqrt[s]], s, t], t, s]
Out[91]= E^(-a Sqrt[s]) s

The second is the exact function in the argument. The first does not 
process the three conditions of the LT of BesselI[1,t].
