This behavior seems to be required by the General Decimal Arithmetic
Specification (http://speleotrove.com/decimal/daexcep.html ):

> The following exceptional conditions can occur:
>     [...]
>     Invalid operation
>         This occurs and signals "invalid-operation" if:
>             [...]
>             * both operands of the "power" operation are zero

"signals invalid-operation" apparently being mapped by default in Python to "raise the InvalidOperation exception".
