I noticed that Missings.jl started failing on nightly after, I think, #49470. The failure is due to Missings.jl depending on the error type of a certain failure, so technically this breakage is their fault. However, looking into how this came to be, I found that convert throws some really inconsistent errors:
julia>convert(Missing, 1)

It would be nice for them to all be consistent—the same error type at least.
