Seems that this is by design, from here

Dask Array doesn’t implement operations like tolist that would be very inefficient for larger datasets. Likewise, it is very inefficient to iterate over a Dask array with for loops

So dask has never had a tolist method, so in one case the object is a dask array, but not in the other case.

I still don't understand why it fails when decode_cf is called separately. Suggests there is a different code path as all underlying packages are identical.
