assume(x^2 == y) doesn't work

I have the following code:
syms x y;
assume(x^2 == y);
assume(x*y == y*x);
t = isequaln(x^2, y);
s = isequaln(x*y, y*x);
The value for t is 0, so it doesn't seem like isequaln(x^2, y) is working correctly. (The value for s is 1, so it seems like assume(x*y == y*x) is working fine.) I've also tried simplify(x^2 + y) and this just returns x^2 + y. So there must be some exception with assumptions that involve the same variable twice?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"assume is not additive. Instead, it automatically deletes all previous assumptions on the variables in condition."
Here is a simple test of isequaln and isAlways:
>> syms x y
>> assume(x^2 == y)
>> assumeAlso(x*y == y*x)
>> assumptions
ans =
[ x*y == x*y, x^2 == y]
>> isequaln(x*y,y*x)
ans =
logical
1
% (I'm guessing this is true because multiplication of complex numbers is commutative,
% not because of the above assumption.)
>> isequaln(x*x,y)
ans =
logical
0
>> isAlways(x*x==y)
ans =
logical
1
