The nan problems come from these  tests:

   # atan2(+-infinity, -infinity) returns +-3*pi/4.
    yield assert_almost_equal, ncu.arctan2( np.inf, -np.inf),  0.75 * np.pi
    yield assert_almost_equal, ncu.arctan2(-np.inf, -np.inf), -0.75 * np.pi

   # atan2(+-infinity, +infinity) returns +-pi/4.
    yield assert_almost_equal, ncu.arctan2( np.inf, np.inf),  0.25 * np.pi
    yield assert_almost_equal, ncu.arctan2(-np.inf, np.inf), -0.25 * np.pi

So the problem seems to be with the inf handling. Windows arctan2 is known
to be wtf-buggy and I suspect that is what is being tested.
