Adding TimedeltaIndex to tz-aware DatetimeIndex: TypeError: data type not understood

[acowlikeobject]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd

dates = pd.date_range('2017-01-01', '2017-01-31', tz='UTC')
deltas = pd.TimedeltaIndex(pd.np.arange(0, len(dates)), unit='m')
dates + deltas

# Removing the tz='UTC' (making dates tz naive) works

throws:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

Problem description

Adding TimedeltaIndex to timezone-aware DatetimeIndex throws a TypeError. The error goes away if the DatetimeIndex does not have a timezone.

(I vaguely remember seeing an issue on this, but can't seem to find it now when I search.)
