It looks like a bug which resulted from Numeric compatability additions.
For backwards compatability with Numeric, I added the "sequence"
keyword as a synonym for the numarray "buffer" keyword. We're in the
process of getting rid of (deprecating) "buffer". When it's gone (a
couple releases), we can remove the default parameter to sequence and
the bug.
