Title: BUG: fillna with method segfaults on zero-length input (fixes #2775)

fixes #2775

just added a check for zero-length data to the backfill and pad templates

not sure if I should add test coverage? the problem is that the tests will not fail without the fix, but rather segfault, so it might not be a good idea
