I've seen talk of it swallowing some exceptions, but I'm not sure of
the specifics.  Are you referring to "import numpy.ma.mrecords" under
Python 2.3, NumPy trunk?   Here's what I get:

Python 2.3.7 (#1, Jul 14 2008, 22:34:29)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy.ma.mrecords
