Looks like it happened in rev 2698 of defmatrix.py, matrix.__getitem__ method:
if isscalar(index[1]):
if isscalar(index[0]):
retscal = True
elif out.shape[0] == 1:
sh = out.shape
out.shape = (sh[1], sh[0])
==> elif isinstance(index[1], (slice, types.EllipsisType)):
==> if out.shape[0] == 1 and not isscalar(index[0]):
It behaves like array if you remove the 'not' in the last line.
But maybe that breaks some other cases?
Maybe you can try making that change in your numpy/core/defmatrix.py
(around line 140) and see if anything else breaks for you.

Maybe the thinking is that since it's a compatibily module, if you
want it you should explicity import it. Like you have to do with
oldnumeric.
