This is a bug in pandas, which added but ignored `copy=` in their
`__array__` methods:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/57739
It probably makes sense bumping there. NumPy could assume it isn't
correctly implemented, but that would be weird also...
(Objects that did nothing would get correct behavior but with a
DeprecationWarning.)
