I'm not certain why you expect the transpose of the actual result here. 
There are two possibilities. MATLAB arrays are column major (first index
varies most rapidly), so in MATLAB (one-based indexing):

>> A=reshape([0:17],[2,3,3]);
>> M=reshape(A(1,:,:),[3,3])
M =

     0     6    12
     2     8    14
     4    10    16

This is the same thing you would get in MATLAB from
M=reshape([0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16],[3,3])

numarray arrays are row major (last index varies most rapidly), so in
numarray:

>>> A=reshape(arange(0,18), (2,3,3))
>>> M=A[0,:,:]
>>> M
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [6, 7, 8]])

This is the same thing you get for M=reshape(arange(0,9),(3,3)).
