OK. I'll work on fixing the remaining issues when a np function is applied on a masked array.

FYI. most of the warnings can be fixed in _MaskedUnaryOperation and consorts with:

        err_status_ini = np.geterr()
        np.seterr(divide='ignore', invalid='ignore')
        result = self.f(da, db, *args, **kwargs)
        np.seterr(**err_status_ini)

Is this kind of fix acceptable ?
