UnboundLocalError: local variable 'mask' referenced before assignment

[TurnaevEvgeny]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

pd.to_datetime(pd.Series(['Jul 31, 2009', '2010-01-10', None])).to_frame().replace('', np.nan)

File "/var/www/envs/fring_internal/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/generic.py", line 3110, in replace
    inplace=inplace, regex=regex)
  File "/var/www/envs/fring_internal/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/internals.py", line 2870, in replace
    return self.apply('replace', **kwargs)
  File "/var/www/envs/fring_internal/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/internals.py", line 2823, in apply
    applied = getattr(b, f)(**kwargs)
  File "/var/www/envs/fring_internal/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/internals.py", line 607, in replace
    if not mask.any():
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'mask' referenced before assignment

Expected Output

Not sure, raise a TypeError("datetime64[ns] is not coercible to string") probably.
