right now, the main difference between dimension and non-dimension coordinates is exactly that: dimension coordinates have a index while non-dimension coordinates don't. That means that before assigning the index to non-dimension coordinates it is converted to numpy.

@benbovy is currently working on changing the data model, which will probably allow the behavior you're expecting. See #1603 and #4979.
