Yes; this has worked in the past, and loss of this functionality is unexpected.

That said, I haven't used this outside of a teaching context,
so for me it only affects some course notes.

I suppose loss of this behavior could be somewhat mitigated
if numpy could provide an optimized general inner product
(along the line of the Wolfram Language's `Inner`).  But note
that numpy.linalg.matrix_power is also lost (e.g., the derived
graphs that allow an intuitive representation of transitive closure).

fwiw,
Alan
