Yep.  There's not much consistency in inf/nan handling across platforms, 
though the situation is slowly getting better.  math.pow makes an effort 
to handle these special cases correctly (for some value of correctly), and 
it would probably make some sense to have the builtin pow behave the same 
way.

Would you be interested in contributing a fix?
