The bug will probably be easy to fix if its location in the source code can be found. Presumably, the latex string for a power series is constructed by concatenating the latex strings of its parts. To kill the bug, add a space in between: change latex(a) + latex(b) to latex(a) + ' ' + latex(b). This is safe, because latex ignores extraneous spaces in math formulas.

(For anyone who does not know latex: \betax should be \beta x.)
