Description

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

a = pd.Series([True, False]) b = pd.Series([np.nan, False]).astype('boolean') s = pd.Series([1,2]) s.loc[a].loc[b] ... pandas.core.indexing.IndexingError: Unalignable boolean Series provided as indexer (index of the boolean Series and of the indexed object do not match).

Issue Description

The example throws an unexpected indexing error. The error seems to trigger if the first filter is neither the identity nor empty and when combined with the second filter with nan is empty. The error does not seem to trigger otherwise.

Expected Behavior

I expect this identity to hold s.loc[a].loc[b] == s.loc[b].loc[a] == s.loc[a & b] which it does except for the exception above.
