Nov 25, 2012 at 21:57 comment added Maarten Derickx No, in my large search trough the entire Cremona Database for counter exmamples I found counter examples with isogenies of prime degree 2,3,5 and 7. So it seems that there is not much of an obstruction comming from the kind of isogeny.
Nov 25, 2012 at 21:46 comment added R.P. So far, all your counterexamples seem to come from isogenies of degree $3$. Any reason to expect isogenies $\phi$ of degree $2$ not to satisfy $\mathbf{Q}(\phi^{-1}E(\mathbf{Q})) = \mathbf{Q}$?
Nov 25, 2012 at 16:22 comment added Maarten Derickx I'm still continuing my search for more counter examples :). Looking at different sextic twists of y^2=x^3+1 I also found a CM rank 3 counter example to part 1. This counter example is interesting since the Gupta-Murty paper proves that Part 1 holds for CM curves of rank $\geq 6$. So this counter example shows that the Gupta-Murty result at least needs something like rank $\geq 4$ as a condition. In this counter example $E'$ is given by $y^2 =x^3 + 14683622976$ and $\phi$ given by dividing out the group of order $3$ generated by $(0 : 121176 : 1)$.

Updated the answer with new found counter examples.
