It seems like vline and hline have problems with `ticks=:native` in Plotly.

```julia
using Plots
plotly()
plt1 = plot(ticks=:native)
plot!(plt1, [now()], [1])
vline!(plt1, [now()])

```

Doesn’t work but without the `vline!` it does. The error is:

Failed to show value:

```julia
InexactError: Int64(NaN)

```

1. **Int64** @ _float.jl:812_ [inlined]
2. **convert** @ _number.jl:7_ [inlined]
3. **Millisecond** @ _types.jl:61_ [inlined]
4. **UTM** @ _types.jl:103_ [inlined]
5. **datetimeformatter** @ _recipes.jl:7_ [inlined]  
…

Similarly with `hline` which shouldn’t be affected by `DateTime` but seem to be affected by it.

Sounds like [this bug here](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/4176).
