Mm, no. The coefficients are by increasing degree, so these are the
roots of 2+x+x^2

The manual page seems to have a typo.  It says (1.2.0 on Win)

Arguments:

       z: the vector of polynomial coefficients in decreasing order.

I suppose that could be clearer (it kind of depends on what you
consider the "normal" order), but it also has

              p(x) = z1 + z2 * x + ... + z[n] * x^(n-1)

which should be clear enough.
