Hi,
It appears to work if you:
1) Use a copied version of the reverse string array  using 
numpy.copy(numpy.array(['-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-'])[::-1])
2) Change the dtype of the string array to at least S8

Which may support the suggestion that it is related to  using [::-1].
