I'd like to turn the question around ... what algorithms are there that rely on NaN == NaN being True?

That seems to be a straw question, since AFAIK nobody has suggested that there are any such algorithms. On the other hand, it has been claimed that some algorithms exist that benefit from Nan == NaN being false, so it's fair to ask for examples to back that up. -- Greg
