Indeed, this is a bug, the parameter should be called vx.]
I fixed it in master.

Indeed, FpXY_evaly does work when y is 0, however the function works correctly
in the other case. This is due a bug in the code (we return the leading coef instead
of the constant coef by mistake).

Thanks for reporting this issue,
