Thanks for trying. I can't think of any downsides for the netcdf4-fix, as it just adds the needed metadata to the object-dtype. But you never know, so it would be good to get another set of eyes on it.

So it looks like the changes here with the fix in my branch will get your issue resolved @tomwhite, right?

I'm a bit worried, that this might break other users workflows, if they depend on the current conversion to floating point for some reason. Also other backends might rely on this feature. Especially because this has been there since the early days when xarray was known as xray.

@dcherian What would be the way to go here?

There is also a somehow contradicting issue in #7868.
