Description
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/13139#discussion_r513684704
This proxy is incorrectly inferred as bool.
```
In [10]: proxy.dtypes
Out[10]:
str object
repeats int64
dtype: object
In [11]: proxy.str.str.repeat(proxy.repeats)
Out[11]:
Series([], Name: str, dtype: bool)
```
The actual operation does produce object though:
```
In [13]: df.str.str.repeat(df.repeats)
Out[13]:
0 AAA
1 B
2 CCCC
3 DDDDD
4
EE
Name: str, dtype: object
```
Currently we work around this by specifying the proxy manually, maybe it can be fixed upstream?
