Question: why expanding PDE makes Maple hangs?

To Maple support:

I was investigating this pde from a different forum.

I noticed that when using an expanded version of the pde, Maple hangs. Without expanding the PDE, Maple gives an answer in 2 seconds. 

Why does expanding the PDE makes a difference? I do not have an earlier version of Maple on my new PC to check if this is a new issue or not.

pdsolve([pde1_expanded=0,bc],u(r,theta)); #HANGS, Waited more than 40 minutes.
