The first one from issue (`residue(exp(1/z), z, 0)`) is fixed in this branch (in the sense that it no longer gives a wrong answer), and a test should be added. The other two still not only don't work, but give the wrong answer (0).

It was often easy to tell that the answer was wrong because the function in question clearly had a simple pole at the point in question. I don't know what part of your code uses residue(), but I would be vary wary of the results produced by it, given my personal experience with its track record.
