get_group(...) fails for groupby(...) based on a function

[Kimonode]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

"""
IMPORTANT: The issue happens with pandas==0.21.1 but does NOT happen with pandas==0.19
"""
# Define simple dataframe, from Pandas doc ;)
# http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/groupby.html#groupby-sorting
df3 = pd.DataFrame({'X' : ['A', 'B', 'A', 'B'], 'Y' : [1, 4, 3, 2]})

# Define a simple function for grouping
def func(df, index):
    return (df['X'].loc[index], df['Y'].loc[index] % 2)

# Make sure the groupby worked, and check the group names
for name, df in df3.groupby(by=lambda index: func(df3, index), sort=False):
    print(name)
    print(df)

# Execute the code that triggers an error
df3.groupby(by=lambda index: func(df3, index), sort=False).get_group(('A', 1))

Problem description

The code raises: NotImplementedError: isna is not defined for MultiIndex
Note: That issue happens with pandas==0.21.1. It does NOT happen with pandas==0.19.

Expected Output

df3.groupby(...).get_group(('A', 1)) should not raise an error but return the group ('A', 1):

('A', 1)
   X  Y
0  A  1
2  A  3

The docs are rather ambiguous on MultiIndex support but I think this makes sense. Investigation and PRs are always welcome.

Thanks for the fix !

I'm seeing the correct behavior on main. I think the test from toobaz@9123f7d could be added to resolve this issue.
