replace function broken for Series with dtype: datetime64

[shanmuga-cv]

This bug was introduced in v0.17.1

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
ser = pd.Series([datetime.now()]*4, index=range(4))
ser.replace('a', 10)

This throws the following exception.

Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "/home/xxxx/anaconda/envs/py3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pandas/core/internals.py", line 2061, in _try_coerce_args  
    other = other.astype('i8',copy=False).view('i8')
