Hi,
I think I managed to find this. I reverted back my svn versions ($svn 
update -r 8262) and cleaned both the build and installation directories.

It occurred with changeset 8262 (earlier changesets appear okay but 
later ones do not)
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/changeset/8262

Specifically in the file:
numpy/core/code_generators/generate_ufunc_api.py

There is an extra call to that should have been deleted on line 54(?).
Py_DECREF(numpy);

Attached a patch to ticket 1425
