DataFrames cannot describe columns with #N/A DataValue

Where should I file this bug…?

julia> using DataFrames, DataValues

julia> x = DataFrame(a = [DataValue{Any}()])
1×1 DataFrame
│ Row │ a   │
├─────┼─────┤
│ 1   │ #NA │

julia> describe(x)

Probably Julia itself? Whatever we do in either DataValues.jl or DataFrames.jl shouldn’t be able to bring down Julia.
