I followed your lead and tried each script and ended up with :
[cohen at jarrett tests]$ nosetests test_ufunc.py
.............
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 13 tests in 1.146s

OK
python: Modules/gcmodule.c:277: visit_decref: Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs 
!= 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

so test_ufunc.py seems to be at stake
