I guess whenever a non-scalar assignment is made (as in `result[:] = [value]`), something like `np.asanyarray` is performed on the new value. Luckily, numpy is perfectly happy with indexing of a 0d array with a 0d index (i.e. an empty tuple). Thinking about it, `result[0] = value` would probably have worked too.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll try to find a fix.
