Writing files with cdms2

I had iris updated on vortex the other day and it appears something has regressed because I can no longer write output files using cdms2 with /usr/local/anaconda/bin/python:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.missing_value = value

    _fill_value[()] = target
TypeError: 'numpy.float32' object does not support item assignment

From /usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cdms2/fvariable.py it appears that if the variable in question is a masked numpy array then it tries to write the fill value and fails.

The problem doesn't happen when I use /usr/local/uvcdat/1.3.0/bin/python, but so far as I can tell it has exactly the same version of numpy and numpy.ma as /usr/local/anaconda/bin/python. (Which contradicts this person.
