Yes, I've had that issue too, and we've had some discussion in the lab. It 
turns out the blas library provides better SVD support than numpy itself. The 
issue is reported here

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/1588

and seems still open.

For me this problem occurred using mac os, where numpy did not use other 
libraries . At some point I tried to use the blas libraries but failed 
miserably.
On the positive side, using neurodebian in a virtualbox worked for me.

On what platform are you working? If not neurodebian you might consider trying 
it (either installed, or through virtualbox). 

(in a perfect world the blas or other SVD-supporting libraries would be made to 
work on any platform, but I don't know how hard that is)
