Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
Unions and run-end-encoded don't have validity bitmaps (`buffers[0]`), so they are sometimes treated as "array without nulls". This happens in the `drop_null` function: so even when unions have nulls, the input -- `values` -- is returned unfiltered.
