Comment:

 The transpose is a view of the same data that is being assigned, hence the
 result you see is what should happen. If you want to transpose the last
 two indices, you should interchange them using swapaxes. If you just want
 to transpose only that slice with the leading index zero, you should use
 A[0].T.copy() on the rhs.
