Comment(by bsouthey):

 This is an invalid ticket because an empty array is not the same thing as
 an empty numpy string. It is a similar comparison to comparing a Python
 list that has a single empty string to the actual empty string.

 First there is an ndarray there is an ndarray that just happens to consist
 of a single element that is an empty string (but the actual ndarray is not
 '''empty''')):
 {{{
 type(numpy.array("")) # <type 'numpy.ndarray'>
 }}}
 Second there is an element from that array that is an numpy string:
 {{{
 type(numpy.array("")[()]) # <type 'numpy.string_'>
 }}}
