Comment(by ocertik):

 This now gives:
 {{{
 (py27)ondrej@hawk:~/repos/numpy/tools(fix369)$ python -c "import numpy as
 np; a = np.array([('a', 1)], dtype='S1, int'); np.searchsorted(a, 1.2)"
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/home/ondrej/repos/numpy/py27/lib/python2.7/site-
 packages/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py", line 814, in searchsorted
     return searchsorted(v, side, sorter)
 TypeError: invalid type promotion
 }}}
 I am now working on a test and I'll submit a PR soon.
