Try ma.column_stack

 >>> x=ma.masked_all((10,3))
 >>> y=np.random.rand(10)
 >>> ma.column_stack((x,y)).shape
(10,4)

The corresponding standard numpy functions don't know how to process  
the mask and tend to fail miserably.

I've never been able to remember what vstack, hstack and stack do  
respectively, so I use error/trial and the online help...
