In fact, for that 'warmup' problem, the leading term has a base and coefficient that are roots of cubic polynomials, given in the OEIS entry. But often the coefficient will be trancendental for these sorts of problems.

What makes you believe that the coefficient will be transcendental? I'd rather expect some non-trivial algebraic number (i.e. root of some polynomial with rational coefficients).
