That does look like the same issue - I personally haven't been affected 
yet.  Please add a note to the bug on sourceforge, with the versions 
your os, rpy, r, python and Numeric. This may help the developers to 
narrow down what exactly triggers the conversion failure:

Something like this works in R,

x <- c(386, 113, 385, 117, 383, 117)
chisq.test(matrix(x, nrow=3, ncol=2, byrow=TRUE))$p.value

So, if we give R the simple list of integers (rather than trying to pass 
an array), and get it to do the conversion to a matrix in pure R 
(without converting it back into a python variable) by exploiting the 
"execute a string" method:

 >>> from rpy import *
 >>> r.assign("x", [386, 113, 385, 117, 383, 117])
[386, 113, 385, 117, 383, 117]
 >>> r('chisq.test(matrix(x, nrow=3, ncol=2, byrow=TRUE))$p.value')
0.9535284154083411

This should work - its one rpy cpding style to minimising data object 
conversion between R and python: passing simple data to R, building the 
complex objects in R and keeping them in R, and only passing out simple 
values back to R.

This may not have been exactly what the bug reported had in mind - there 
is more than one way to do this!

You could try numpy instead of Numeric - worth a try at least.

You could use an older version of R - not ideal, especially if you want 
to use recent packages.
