This is the intended result and the library documentation (pari-stable)
is incorrect. :-(

The documentation in the testing branch (2.4.*) is generally (more
precise and) more accurate; here, it correctly states :

\fun{GEN}{primitive_part}{GEN x, GEN *c} sets \kbd{c} to \kbd{content(x)}
and returns the primitive part \kbd{x} / \kbd{c}. A trivial content is
set to \kbd{NULL}.

Best wishes,
