I've reported this to Maplesoft and will let you know what they have to
say; in general it's best to advise users always to double-check answers
from int, solve etc.
In the meantime, I found that it seems to give the correct answer if you
do:
> f:=((3/2)^2)/(t^(5/2)*(s-t)^(5/2));
1
f := 9/4 ---------------
5/2 5/2
t (s - t)
> int(simplify(f),t=1..(s-1));
2 3
6 s - 24 s + s + 16
3 ---------------------
3/2 4
(s - 1) s

P.S. If you're curious about the difference between what it's doing
internally for the original integral vs. the above, try setting
> infolevel[int]:=5:
before you use int.
