Comment(by ezander):

 Seems to happen whenever the second multiplicant implements {{{__len__}}}
 and {{{__getitem__}}} e.g.


 {{{
 In [2]: class foo(object):
    ...:     def __len__(self):
    ...:         return 5
    ...:     def __getitem__(self,i):
    ...:         return 2*i
    ...:     def __rmul__(self,other):
    ...:         return self
 In [4]: import numpy as np
 In [6]: np.float64(3)*foo()
 Out[6]: array([  0.,   6.,  12.,  18.,  24.])
 }}}

 Maybe numpy.float64 should first give {{{__rmul__}}} a chance, if it's
 defined?
