Description
When using the latest nightly numpy (1.25.0.dev0+..), we are getting some errors in the pyarrow test suite, that come from pandas functions (assert_series_equal, -> array_equivalent). Those errors don't happen with numpy 1.24.
A few examples that we encountered in the pyarrow tests seem all to boil down to the situation where you have multiple levels of nesting (an array of arrays of arrays), but where the one is a numpy array of nested numpy arrays, and the other is a numpy array of nested lists.
import pandas._testing as tm
# one level of nesting -> ok
s1 = pd.Series([np.array([1, 2, 3]), np.array([4, 5])], dtype=object)
s2 = pd.Series([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], dtype=object)
>>> tm.assert_series_equal(s1, s2)
# >1 level of nesting -> fails
s1 = pd.Series([np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], dtype=object), np.array([[6], [7, 8]], dtype=object)], dtype=object)
s2 = pd.Series([[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], [[6], [7, 8]]], dtype=object)
>>> tm.assert_series_equal(s1, s2)

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 1 dimensions. The detected shape was (2,) + inhomogeneous part.Another example, that is essentially the same situation, but that gives a different error message (from numpy):
# construct inner array with explicitly setting up the shape (otherwise numpy will infer it as 2D)
arr = np.empty(2, dtype=object)
arr[:] = [np.array([None, 'b'], dtype=object), np.array(['c', 'd'], dtype=object)]
