Comment(by mspacek):

 Here's a unit test patch. With this, np.test('full') hangs without
 Christoph's patch, and completes successfully with his patch.
 Unfortunately, the test takes > 1 min to write slightly more than 4GB (the
 required threshold) to a non-SSD drive. Don't think there's much that can
 be done about that.
