The culprit is test_pickle_string_overwrite() in test_regression.py. The
test actually tries to check for that kind of problem, but on Python 3,
it only manages to trigger it without detecting it. Here's a simple way
to reproduce the issue:

>>> a = numpy.array([1], 'b')
>>> b = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(a))
>>> b[0] = 77
>>> b'\x01  '[0:1]
b'M'

Actually, this problem is probably quite old: I can see it in 1.6.1 w/
Python 3.2.3. 3.3 only makes it more visible. 

I'll open an issue on GitHub ASAP.
