Comment(by npinto):

 I was able to nail and reproduce the bug in bug2.py:

 {{{
 % cat bug2.py
 (master⚡)
 import numpy as np

 f2 = np.empty((1), dtype='float16')

 class Foo: pass
 a = Foo()
 a.__array_interface__ = f2.__array_interface__

 np.array(a, 'float16')
 np.array(f2, 'float16')
 }}}

 {{{
 % python ipython_log.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ipython_log.py", line 9, in <module>
     np.array(a, 'float16')
 ValueError: unsupported typestring
 }}}
