I tested it on a Debian box (again Numpy 1.0.4) and was able to reproduce the problem:

~$ python
Python 2.4.5 (#2, Mar 12 2008, 00:15:51) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.version.version
'1.0.4'
>>> large_none = [None] * 1000000
>>> numpy.any(numpy.array(large_none))
Segmentation fault
~$ python2.5
Python 2.5.2a0 (r251:54863, Feb 10 2008, 01:31:28) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> large_none = [None] * 1000000
>>> numpy.any(numpy.array(large_none))
Segmentation fault
