ok -- bug bisected to be fixed in
$> PYTHONPATH=$PWD python -c "import numpy; print numpy.__version__; print
numpy.array([('a', 1), ('b', 9.99)])"
1.7.0.dev-91f87e1
[['a' '1']
['b' '9.99']]
but unfortunately 1.7.0.dev-91f87e1 cannot be applied as is to 1.6.x series :-/
thus I would appreciate if someone numpy-source-code aware person could look
into adopting this fix.

BUG: Fix ticket #1990.
When an array is created from a sequence of numeric (boolean, int, float,
complex) and string (bytes, str, unicode) values, the resulting array type
is string, but only the string values were being used to choose the string
length, leading to truncation of data.
