I must be missing something here...
sage: g(x)=x^10/(1-x)^11
sage: plot(g(x),(0,0.9))
sage: g(0.7)
15945.8104850773
What's wrong?

I get the same results in 9.2 and 9.6.

That seems right. Plotting x^6/(1-x)^7 shows the error, but x^5/(1-x)^6 does not. And
.9^6/.1^7 = 5.31441000000001e6
.9^5/.1^6 = 590490.000000001
So it seems that there should be a 1e6 label that is somehow not appearing.
