Comment(by mwiebe):

 I suspect the stride tricks code has hard-coded knowledge about the numpy
 dtypes. This should be changed so it directly uses the information
 provided by the dtype object instead, so that it would work with third-
 party extension dtypes, too.

 This should be a relatively straightforward Python-level code fix, anyone
 with a decent knowledge of Python should be able to tackle this bug. Too
 bad there's no way to mark that in a nice searchable field yet.
