Pandas: Bug: Pivot falha para MultiIndex se o índice existente for usado.

Amostra de código, um exemplo copiável e colável

df  = pd.DataFrame([['A', 'A1', 'label1', 1],
             ['A', 'A2', 'label2', 2],
             ['B', 'A1', 'label1', 3],
             ['B', 'A2', 'label2', 4]], columns=['index_1', 'index_2', 'label', 'value'])
df = df.set_index(['index_1', 'index_2'])

pivoted_df = df.pivot(index=None,
                     columns='label',
                     values = 'value')

Descrição do Problema

A função dinâmica fornece um erro NotImplementedError: isna is not defined for MultiIndex . Quando o índice é definido como None .
