Comment(by m-paradox):

 Good detective work! In this case, I believe it doesn't call
 CanCastTypeTo, it calls CanCastArrayTo because the product is
 array*scalar, so the value-based type demotion is permitted to kick in.
 CanCastArrayTo is a bit more complicated, I can definitely imagine
 something tripping up in there. One possibility is that the gcc
 preprocessor is getting the '#if NPY_SIZEOF_LONGLONG >=
 NPY_SIZEOF_CLONGDOUBLE' wrong, and making a npy_longlong instead of
 npy_clongdouble. This would definitely cause some scribbling on the stack.

 What you can try is, in core/src/multiarray/convert_datatype.c, replace
 this

 {{{
 #if NPY_SIZEOF_LONGLONG >= NPY_SIZEOF_CLONGDOUBLE
         npy_longlong value;
 #else
         npy_clongdouble value;
 #endif
 }}}

 with this

 {{{
         npy_longlong value[4];
 }}}
