Imaxima has its own TeX code, and redefines some of the stuff which is
also present in Maxima. In particular MMINUS (unary minus) is given
right binding power equal to 100. I think that was the value in Maxima
a long time ago, but it was changed maybe 10 or 15 years ago to solve
some other problem having to do with parentheses.

All the best,
