Comment:

 In the current trunk:
 {{{
 >>> np.array([1j], dtype=numpy.float64)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: can't convert complex to float
 }}}
 So it seems to be actually fixed, and the error message is more clear than
 the previous "setting an array element with a sequence".

 If there's something more, please reopen again ;)
