Comment(by charris):

 The problem lies elsewhere:


 {{{
 In [98]: x = numpy.array([[1,2],[3,4]]).T

 In [99]: x
 Out[99]:
 array([[1, 3],
        [2, 4]])

 In [100]: y = asanyarray(x.flat).flatten()

 In [101]: x
 Out[101]:
 array([[1, 2],
        [3, 4]])

 In [102]: x = numpy.array([[1,2],[3,4]]).T

 In [103]: y = asanyarray(x.flat)

 In [104]: x
 Out[104]:
 array([[1, 3],
        [2, 4]])
 }}}
