I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
Issue Description
When attempting to set a single value (string array) into an DataFrame with single column and dtype string, exception is raised:
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
The code example shows same operation performed different ways with a DataFrame with single and multiple columns. No issue when DataFrame has more than one column.
Expected Behavior
Set the value as in DataFrame with multiple columns.
