Probably not, but maybe yes. I'd guess the cause is lines 2601-2603 of
ufunc_object.c

            if (PyArray_ISOBJECT(arr) && PyArray_SIZE(arr) != 0) {
                assign_identity = NULL;
            }


The variable assign_identity is a function pointer, so some new functions
are probably needed that return python integers 0 and 1 when PyUFunc_Zero
and PyUFunc_One turn up. I don't know what all the consequences of that
change would be and it may not be quite so simple. Clearly that code isn't
well tested.
