Huh. *That* displays the bug.

In [85]: numpy.array([[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]],
fortran=False).reshape(2,5,2)
Out[85]:
array([[[ 1,  2],
        [ 3,  4],
        [ 5,  6],
        [ 7,  8],
        [ 9, 10]],

       [[11, 12],
        [13, 14],
        [15, 16],
        [17, 18],
        [19, 20]]])

In [86]: numpy.array([[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]],
