One oddity is that by supplying `dtype=""u8""` I see the assignment having no effect:

```

In [18]: import xarray
    ...: import numpy
    ...: da = xarray.DataArray(numpy.array([0,1], dtype=""u8""))
    ...: da[0] = numpy.nan
    ...: print(da)
<xarray.DataArray (dim_0: 2)>
array([0, 1], dtype=uint64)
Dimensions without coordinates: dim_0
```

I see the same result without the dtype arg.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,751732952
