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

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [
        (1, "1900-01-01", "a"),
        (2, "1900-01-01", "b")
     ],
columns=["id", "date", "val"]
).astype({"id": "int64[pyarrow]", "date": "timestamp[ns][pyarrow]", "val":"string[pyarrow]"})

df = df.set_index(["id", "date"])

idx_val = df.index[0]

idx_val in df.index # will show True

df.index.difference([idx_val]) # The two elements are still present in the dataframe

Issue Description

Note that the code will work if we using datetime64[ns] instead of timestamp[ns][pyarrow] type.

Also the code works fine if we convert the index to a none multi index.

Expected Behavior

We expect the same behavior with timestamp[ns][pyarrow] and other type. The element that we use to apply the difference should be removed from the dataframe

Thanks for raising this! Confirmed on main.

MultiIndex.difference doesn't exclude the matching row when the index includes a timestamp[ns][pyarrow] column.
