Dec 12, 2013 at 7:19 comment added Will Jagy @KConrad, thanks. As the page from Postnikov seemed to indicate, Chebotarev and Dorodnov did assume commensurability, pages 7,8 in the pdf. So, a proof that there are no bizarre examples is still not done. This was exactly the state of the problem of squaring the circle in the hyperbolic plane when I looked into that problem. But that one had an easy finish with Gelfond-Schneider. This problem seems harder.
Dec 12, 2013 at 7:07 comment added KConrad In the article by Lenstra and Stevenhagen on Chebotarev's density theorem they mention this result of Chebotarev on constructing lunes. See pages 7 and 8 of math.leidenuniv.nl/~hwl/papers/cheb.pdf
