REGR: string indexing on PeriodIndex raises KeyError on master (not yet released)

[simonjayhawkins]

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

>>> import pandas as pd
>>>
>>> pd.__version__
'1.1.0.dev0+1466.ga3477c769'
>>>
>>> index = pd.period_range(start="2000", periods=20, freq="B")
>>> series = pd.Series(range(20), index=index)
>>>
>>> series.index
PeriodIndex(['2000-01-03', '2000-01-04', '2000-01-05', '2000-01-06',
             '2000-01-07', '2000-01-10', '2000-01-11', '2000-01-12',

            dtype='period[B]', freq='B')
>>>

@jbrockmendel do you have time to look into this in the next week or two? If not I can take a look next week.

[jbrockmendel]
