Comment:

 Good job for uncovering this bug, but the situation is actually worse. In
 fact, as soon as the mask of the array is not {{{nomask}}}, it cannot be
 printed with the given precision.
 Internally, the array is cast to a dtype object, and the items that should
 be masked are replaced by the string representing a missing value ( by
 default, '--'). I need to fix that very soon, probably over this week-end.
