calling mean on a DataFrameGroupBy with Int64 dtype results in TypeError

[mojones]

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a' : [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3],
    'b' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
},
dtype='Int64')

df.groupby('a').mean()

Problem description

Using the new nullable integer data type, calling mean after grouping results in a TypeError. Using int64 dtype it works:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a' : [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3],
    'b' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
},
dtype='int64')

print(df.groupby('a').mean())

as does keeping Int64 dtype but taking a single column to give a SeriesGroupBy:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a' : [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3],
    'b' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
},
dtype='Int64')

print(df.groupby('a')['b'].mean())

The error does not occur when calling min, max or first, but does also occur with median and std.

Expected Output

     b
a     
0  1.5
1  3.5
2  5.5
3  7.5

Update: using agg and passing a list consisting just of 'mean' works:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a' : [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3],
    'b' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
},
dtype='Int64')

df.groupby('a').agg(['mean'])

but passing 'mean' on its own doesn't:

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'a' : [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3],
    'b' : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
},
dtype='Int64')

df.groupby('a').agg('mean')
