While I think it's great that you fixed this with a scapel rather than my blunt hammer of simply dropping the patch, I wonder if we should be expecting the backends to handle nans. The general philosophy has been to keep them as simple as possible, and nan handling is definitely not simple. Most likely we would pay a price in efficiency by moving the nan handling to the frontend, but would we be better off passing a nan-filtered path to the backend?
