Comment (by rkern):

 The cause of the problem is that {{{locale.format_string()}}} uses
 {{{operator.isMappingType()}}} (in C: {{{PyMapping_Check}}}) to see if the
 value is dictlike in order to support the {{{'%(foo)s'}}} kind of format
 strings. numpy scalars pass this test because they support indexing with
 {{{scalar[()]}}}.

 I don't think we can really fix this one.
