GH#44084 boils down to the following.
According to the docs
.get_indexer_non_unique()is supposed to return"integers from 0 to n - 1 indicating that the index at these positions matches
the corresponding target values". However, for an index that is non unique and
non monotonic it returns a boolean mask. That is because it uses
.get_loc()which for non unique, non monotonic indexes returns a boolean mask.
This patch catches that case and converts the boolean mask from
.get_loc()into the corresponding array of integers if the index is not unique and not
monotonic.
