Research direction
Start by running the referenced test in xarray/tests/test_cftimeindex.py at lines 1191-1195 against the pandas main branch and compare the failure with the current xarray behavior. Investigate the interaction between MultiIndex and the cftime index, then confirm the test passes without relying on an xfail.
