   I think it is a bug -- having `NullArray::is_null()` return `false` seems 
simply incorrect, as well as being very confusing. 
   
   Practically it means we can't use `is_null` to check if an element is null 
-- instead we have to also special case `DataType::is_null` as @jonahgao  did 
in https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/7568 
   
   Maybe the problem is that `NullArray::new(1)` doesn't set up the buffers 
correctly 🤔
