     BUG: core: Fix corner case of object array assignment (#1870)

     This general aspect of object arrays is fraught with errors, for
     example, eval(repr(x)) produces a 2 instead of 1 dimensional array
     when given the x in the first example of the bug. This fix at least
     makes the result requested in the bug report work.
