The former seems fairly pointless, and the latter difficult (since it has implications for moving the data store when the array gets resized).
I don't see why that should be a serious problem, as long as it's understood that the address reported by the array interface is only for temporary use.
I also don't see what relevance the semantics of Python indexing or mutation has. The array interface should just report the location and shape of the data as it happens to be when the call is made. What happens to it in between times is entirely up to the object.
