This behavior was changed when fixing #1254:
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1254
It seems that it will not be possible to just revert to the old behavior,
since apparently allowing that was a design mistake.
The data loading routines however could in principle be changed to handle
duplicate title/field combinations. How did you save your data, with
numpy.save/numpy.savez or via pickling?
