Did you mean _fix instead of _unfix?

Maybe it has something to do with the way you saved your data? When I save 
and load a matrix I don't see those object references:

$ cat h5write.py
import numpy as np
import h5py

a = np.array([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]])

f = h5py.File('save.mat', 'w')
d = f.create_dataset("foo", data=a)
f.close()
$ python h5write.py
$ cat h5read.py
import sys
import numpy as np
import h5py

filename, matrixlocation = sys.argv[1:]

f = h5py.File(filename, 'r')
d = f.get(matrixlocation)
print np.array(d)
$ python h5read.py save.mat foo
[[1 2 3]
 [4 5 6]]

However, with your data set:

$ python h5read.py nominal_case_fix.mat nominal_case_fix
[[<HDF5 object reference> <HDF5 object reference> <HDF5 object reference>
[...]
  <HDF5 object reference> <HDF5 object reference> <HDF5 object reference>]]
$
