Comment(by charris):

 Same problem with void types.


 {{{
 In [12]: arr.view("V5")
 Out[12]:
 array([1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345],
       dtype='|V5')

 In [13]: array(arr.view("V5"), dtype="V3")
 Out[13]:
 array([1, 1, 2, 12, 3],
       dtype='|V3')

 }}}

 So I expect these can all be fixed together in the conversion loops.
