Yes, thanks. Now I understand. In the expression:
(x+y^2 )::INFORM
'(x+y^2 )' is first fully interpreted by Fricas as a polynomial and
only then does it coerce (convert?) the result back to InputForm. To
do what I expected I guess one could write:
(1) -> unparse(parse("x+y^2")$InputForm)
(1) "x+y^2"
Type: String
Then no semantics are involved but if invoke the interpreter explicitly
(2) -> unparse(interpret(parse("x+y^2")$InputForm)::INFORM)
(2) "y^2+x"
Type: String
then of course I get the result you showed.

Of course there should be such a coercion.
You are right that the result depends on the domain chosen by the interpreter.
