Er, is this actually a bug? I would instead consider the fact that np.min([]) raises an exception a bug of sorts - the identity of min is inf. Really nanmin of an array containing only nans should be the same as an empty array; both should be infinity. I guess this is a problem for types that don't have an infinity (returning maxint is a poor substitute), but what is the correct behaviour here?
