Hi,
this seems to be a bug (and it wasn't there some years ago; I cannot
see quickly what causes it).
However, it is easy to work around:
Mathematica 4.1 for Linux

In[1]:= !!t.m
<<HighEnergyPhysics`fc`
(* set FI for InputForm and FCE for short external form *)
FI;
amp=SpinorUBar[k].GA[\[Mu]].(1 - \[Lambda] GA[5]).SpinorU[p, m];
Print["amp = ", FCE@amp];
(* using Calc basically expand here the (1-\[Lambda] GA[5]);
ComplexConjugate works right then
*)
ccamp = ComplexConjugate[ Calc[amp] ];
Print["\n ccamp = ", FCE@ccamp];
(* use FermionSpinSum to do the trace step by step *)
spinsu = FermionSpinSum[ FCI[ Expand[amp ccamp] ] ]
Print["\n spinsu = ", FCE@spinsu];
(* doing the trace *)
r1 = spinsu /. DiracTrace -> Tr;
Print["\n r1 = ", FCE@r1];
(* However, one can also do it immediately: *)
r2 = SquareAmplitude[ amp ]
Print["\n r2 = ", FCE@r2];
(* check it *)
Calc[ r1 - r2]
