Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

data={"x":[1,0],"y":[1,0]}
df=pd.DataFrame(data,dtype="Float64")
df['z']=df['y']/df['x']
df['z'].isna()

Issue Description

The pandas isna() function does not catch NaN values that are of type np.NaN when using the Float64 datatype. The call df['z'].isna() returns a series with following rows.

0    False
1    False
Name: z, dtype: bool

Using the code above, both rows return a false value. Using df['z'].apply(np.isnan) correctly returns false for the first row, and true for the second row.

0    False
1     True
Name: z, dtype: boolean

Expected Behavior

I would expect the pandas isna() function to also classify the np.NaN type as a null or nan value when using the Float64 datatype.
The returned value of df['z'].isna() should be a series with following rows.

0    False
1     True
Name: z, dtype: bool

Also - this is correctly handled if datatype the non-nullable "float64"

cc @jbrockmendel @jorisvandenbossche @mroeschke - there is one test that hits this where we check that NaN in the float values gives False with pd.isna:

But it seems unexpected to me to have float64 and Float64 act differently here. Can't find a discussion on the current behavior, has this been considered before?
