I can look into it. As a side note, one thing we've done in Astropy is to create a GitHub read-only team with everyone who we might want to assign issues to - this would allow you to assign any scipy.io.idl issue to me without having to give me write-access to the repo.

I think this may be a Numpy bug - I've opened an issue here with a minimal example: numpy/numpy#5762

numpy regression which will be fixed by numpy/numpy#5548, so closing this

thanks for looking into it @astrofrog
