REGR: Warnings for NumPy funcs when dropping nuisance in agg, apply, transform

doc/source/whatsnew/v1.5.3.rst

@@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ Fixed regressions
 - Enforced reversion of ``color`` as an alias for ``c`` and ``size`` as an alias for ``s`` in function :meth:`DataFrame.plot.scatter` (:issue:`49732`)
 - Fixed regression in :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.apply` setting a ``name`` attribute on the result if the result was a :class:`DataFrame` (:issue:`49907`)
 - Fixed performance regression in setting with the :meth:`~DataFrame.at` indexer (:issue:`49771`)
+- Fixed regression in the methods ``apply``, ``agg``, and ``transform`` when used with NumPy functions that informed users to supply ``numeric_only=True`` if the operation failed on non-numeric dtypes; such columns must be dropped prior to using these methods (:issue:`50538`)
