pandas/tests/indexing/test_iloc.py
As explained in issue #43996, the update of v1.3.0 causes a change in dtype casting when assigning a series. The issue contains a minimal working example of this rather inconsistent behaviour. In short, the type of a column changes when the assignment happens on a data frame only containing one column. With multiple columns, assigning the same series retains the original type.
This contribution includes a test case which performs an assignment operation on a single column data frame. Naturally, because of this inconsistency of typing in the current pandas code, this test case fails. Its aim is to serve the bug fix for this inconsistency.
