Workaround broken test from pyarrow

While fixing the previous issue, I introduced another (but didn't see it because of the errors from the test suite, probably should have looked closer...)

This doesn't fix the behavior, but I think it's minor so fine to push off. I do prioritize getting the tests where pass vs failure is meaningful again
