### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
## Issue Description
It seems not possible to be able to append a nullable column to a table.
Start off with a table. This works fine.
```
$ python
>>> import pyarrow
>>> table = pyarrow.Table.from_pylist([{"a": None}],
pyarrow.schema([pyarrow.field("a", pyarrow.string(), nullable=True)]))
```
Then try to add another similar column. This does work.
```
>>> table = table.append_column(pyarrow.field("b", pyarrow.string(),
nullable=True), [["x"]])
```
Then try to add another similar column. This does **not** work.
```
>>> table = table.append_column(pyarrow.field("c", pyarrow.string(),
nullable=True), [[None]])
