Better example: Subclass float, then it can actually *be* a nan.

>>> class NoisyFloat(float):
    def __eq__(self, other):
        print("Comparing",id(self),"against",id(other))
        return super().__eq__(other)
    def __hash__(self):
        return super().__hash__()

>>> d[NoisyFloat("nan")]
Comparing 23777152 against 18777952
Comparing 23777152 against 19624864
Comparing 23777152 against 18776272
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#35>", line 1, in <module>
    d[NoisyFloat("nan")]
KeyError: nan

That's comparing nan==nan three types with four different nans.
