Comment (by stefan):

 I would expect

 {{{
 x = np.array(0)
 m = np.array(True)
 x[m] == np.array(0)
 }}}

 Your specific example would be equivalent to 0[1], and that would give an
 out of bound error.

 This kind of functionality (not the specific case, necessarily) was
 proposed by Travis to make indexing more consistent over the different
 kind of arrays and scalars.
