Fixes #1798. Paraphrasing my comment there: it's triggered by a weird behaviour of
np.dtypethat can be rarely found bynpst.array_dtypes(), where:np.dtype([("f1", int), ("", int)])fails, as does anything where the name"f{index}"exists elsewhere but the name at the index is""(e.g.dtype([('', int), ('f0', int)])) - the empty name defaults to thef{index}name even if it exists elsewhere, but obviously theunique_bydoesn't catch that. We can ensuring that all field names are non-empty is a decent workaround until I can talk it over with upstream.
