the second element in the array iteration here is actually the numpy.ma.masked constant, which always has the same fill value (which I guess is 999999).
This sucks to the point of feeling like a bug :-(
It is not.
Why is it desirable for it to behave like this?
Because that way, you can compare anything to masked and see whether a value is masked or not. Anyway, in your case, it's just mean your value is masked. You don't care about the filling_value for this one.
