So you made solve_left use the numpy backend and actually do
solve_right, and left solve_right to use the generic Gauss elimination
code, so neither is right.   Trac 7852 really needs to get in.
Release manager, merge that sucker.

For the record, 7852 has a positive review and completely fixes the
problem discussed in this thread.  Rado, you could merge it on your
server, maybe.
