Here is what I mean:
$ git clean -xdf
$ python setup.py build_ext -i
Running from numpy source directory.
Cythonizing sources
[... lots of building, completes successfully ...]
$ $ ./runtests.py
Building, see build.log...
Running from numpy source directory.

Build failed!The issue is pretty clear:
58C0
When numpy/__init__.py is loaded, under some conditions it will not set the __version__ variable; these conditions occur when you do not use a virtualenv or python setup.py install, and just try and run runtests.py. After 7b438fa (PR), nosetester.py tries to access this __version__ variable, which doesn't exist and so it crashes.
