Comment(by charris):

 The problem is at line 2645 of ctors.c


 {{{
         stransfer(dst_data, dst_stride, src_data, src_stride,
                     count, src_itemsize, transferdata);
 }}}

 src_itemsize needs to be dst_itemsize in order to work with stransfer,
 which in this case is
 {{{
 _strided_to_contig
 }}}
 in lowlevel_strided_loops.c.src

 Simply fixing this may have unintended side effects.
