Comment(by thouis):

 Based on some more testing, I expect that there is no off-by-one error,
 but rather there's an assumption that the buffer is not adjacent to the
 destination (assuming I'm reading the code correctly).

 For the newly failing test, this is what some simple instrumenting
 reports:

 {{{
 test_where_param_buffer_output (test_ufunc.TestUfunc) ... Buffer
 allocated: 10294f670
 Delta 80 compared to 80
 FAIL
 ...
 }}}

 Perhaps the correct approach is to allocate the buffer with some
 "fencepost" space (8 bytes for alignment?) at the beginning, and use it
 with an offset to ensure that the assumption can't be violated.
