It was at least true in the fairly recent past:

 >>> numpy.__version__
'0.9.7.2275'
 >>> a = numpy.arange(9)
 >>> b = a.reshape(a.shape)
 >>> b is a
True
 >>> c = a.reshape((3,3))
 >>> c is a
False

I can't get through to svn.scipy.org right now to do an update, so I 
can't check on current SVN, but I believe that this version is less than 
a week old.
