Comment(by charris):

 In 1d952a5 this now gives


 {{{
 In [7]: array([array([]), array(0, object)], object)
 Out[7]: array([[], 0], dtype=object)

 In [8]: array([array([]), array(0, object)], object).shape
 Out[8]: (2,)
 }}}

 Which has one more level of depth than


 {{{
 array([array([], dtype=float64), array(0, dtype=object)], dtype=object)
 }}}

 However, I think the extra level is consistent with the way numpy usually
 handles the creation of object arrays, i.e., at the greatest depth
 possible.
