~~~
gfactor((%i+1)^(-1/2)) =>
   ((1-%i)*sqrt(%i+1))/2
gfactor(%) =>
   -(((%i-1)*sqrt(%i+1))/2)
gfactor(%) =>
   -(((%i-1)*sqrt(%i+1))/2)   <<< stable
~~~
This is arguably outside the domain of `gfactor`, so this is a very low priority bug.
I hope priority=2 means that it is extra-low priority, not extra-high priority!
