can this be made faster?

Yeh, I spoke too soon.  Tried a little example and it seemed to work.
I don't get a traceback here, but your example doesn't work as expected, either.
I get [1,1] as the answer with numpy 1.0rc1.  Probably it should be an
exception, though.

It seems to work if len(b)<=len(a)  and when no indices are repeated in b.
