I can reproduce the crash with a recent build of numpy 1.6. It is in 
arraytypes.c.src, line 521:

static PyObject *
OBJECT_getitem(char *ip, PyArrayObject *ap)
{
     PyObject *obj;
     NPY_COPY_PYOBJECT_PTR(&obj, ip);
     if (obj == NULL) {
         Py_INCREF(Py_None);
         return Py_None;
     }
     else {
         Py_INCREF(obj);   /* <== crash */
         return obj;
     }
}


There's no check whether obj is a valid PyObject (it is not in this case).
