Actually, this reproduces the problem:

I'm guessing, but I think you would like to see:
abs(-1.) 1.0 abs(1) 1
If so, this is a bug. Two things are going on:
1) numarray.objects redefines abs()
2) Internally, numarray has a concept of "rank-0" arrays which it uses
to represent scalars. Apparently, numarray.objects lacks the extra
code to filter rank-0 arrays out (convert back to scalars) as is done
with numerical arrays.
I logged this as a bug on Source Forge and it will be fixed for 1.0.
