Description (last modified by rws)

A minimal case: 

sage: (k,n) = var('k,n')
sage: sum(abs(-k*k+n),k,1,n)
sum(abs(-k^2 + n), k, 1, n)
sage: _(n=8)
sum(abs(-k^2 + 8), k, 1, 8)
sage: _.simplify()
sum(abs(k^2 - 8), k, 1, 8)

I would expect _.simplify() or .expand() to give me the result 162 but this does not work.

Related to #9424. One may depend on the other. Relevant questions were:
