This is fine.  copysign isn't supposed to propagate NaNs---it's just 
supposed to silently transfer the sign bit from the second argument to the 
first.  So I think this is correct behaviour.

Incidentally, on OS X:

>>> from math import copysign
>>> copysign(1, float('nan'))
-1.0

This is also fine, IMO.  It just so happens that on OS X the 'default' NaN 
has its sign bit set.
