I've located the culprit. Once I revert numpy/core/__init__.py to 2164, tests pass. The change appears to postpone the import of NumpyTest:

I've reverted to r2164 and everything is back to normal. This suggests that r2165 changes are at fault and not my setup. That change deals with imports and the failure that I see happens during import.

I've tried NUMPY_IMPORT_DEBUG=1 and got this:

Any suggestions for further diagnostic?
