Comment:

 The problem here is the error message, the error definitely should be
 happening. The broadcast shape is (2,1,2), with 4 elements (you can see
 that in your printout of A1 * A2). A1 *= A2 is saying to assign those 4
 elements to the 2 elements of A1, so is an invalid operation.

 I've fixed this on master in commit:fd9ef72d. Leaving it out of 1.6.x
 because it's an error message bug, not a functionality bug.
