This behaviour was changed in the maskedarray branch:

In [2]: import numpy as N
In [3]: ma = N.ma
In [4]: mask1 = [False, True, False]
In [5]: x = ma.array([1,2,3], mask=mask1)
In [6]: mask2 = [False, True, True]
In [7]: ma.putmask(x, mask2, 10)
In [8]: x
Out[8]: 
masked_array(data = [1 10 10],
      mask = [False False False],
      fill_value=999999)
