It seems like there exists a bug when taking the following limit in Maple (I tried Maple 2021):

If I run this command:
> evalf(limit(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,x)),x=0));
1.2722774800
the result is 1.2722774800, which seems to be incorrect.
evalf(limit(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,x)),x=0));
evalf(limit(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,x)),x=0))

However, when I run this command:
> evalf(CylinderU(0,limit(CylinderU(0,x),x=0)));
0.5456799403
the result is 0.5456799403, which seems to be correct.
evalf(CylinderU(0,limit(CylinderU(0,x),x=0)))
evalf(CylinderU(0,limit(CylinderU(0,x),x=0)))

Finally, when I run this command:
> evalf(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,0)));
0.5456799403
the result is 0.5456799403 which is also correct.
evalf(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,0)))
evalf(CylinderU(0,CylinderU(0,0)))

My expectation is that all three commands must return the same result, thus I consider this a bug.
I also run the following command in WolframAlpha
> limit ParabolicCylinderU(0,ParabolicCylinderU(0,x)) as x->0.0
and obtained the correct result 0.54568, confirming that in Maple this is evaluated incorrectly.

Would appreciate if anybody can confirm that this is a bug.

How such Maple bug should be reported?
