Tagging this for backport.
@TomAugspurger my first analysis was wrong. The failure was actually a bug fix in scipy, indicating at a wrong usage of `coo_matrix`. See updated version of this PR. For testing the result, I just assumed the current result of it on master is correct, but if you can take a quick look.

Not sure why it is not showing green (but still busy here), as on Azure everything is finished (https://dev.azure.com/pandas-dev/pandas/_build/results?buildId=9255), so merging.
