Setting NaN values on DataFrame with non-unique column names

[benrifkind]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

Something goes wrong when I try to set a NaN value using the iloc syntax. Instead of just the entry being set, the entire row gets set.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(1,5).reshape(2,2), columns=["A"]*2)
# this works like expected
df.iloc[0,0] = -1
df

	A	A
0	-1	2
1	3	4

# this sets the entire row to NaN
df.iloc[1,0] = np.nan
df

	A	A
0	-1.0	2.0
1	NaN	NaN

# It only seems to be an issue when indexing the first repeated column
df.iloc[0,1] = np.nan
df

	A	A
0	-1.0	NaN
1	NaN	NaN

output of pd.show_versions()

this seems to be a duplicate of #12344, fixed here: #12498

That was in 0.18.0, and this is not reproducible on 0.18.1 or master.
