Hi Ralf,
Yes, this appears to be problematic, and I have has been reported in house.
For now a workaround is to first do:
SetSystemOptions[
"PolynomialAlgebraOptions" -> {"PolynomialExpand" -> False}];
Name notwithstanding, this should not actually disable expansion; it simply enables usage, or not, of a certain internal method.
I apologize for any problems this may have caused.
