I'll look into this.

Would you mind having a look at the build failures? https://travis-ci.org/filmor/pandas/builds/32934493
The only changes I did against master are these: https://github.com/filmor/pandas/commit/1dcd6874a56c25526ecf433e3e90482bed36b912
I don't know why test_wide_table_dups is failing now and it also seems like the table format can't handle non-unique indexes for panels as well. Is this by design?
Comment From: jreback
iirc this is not possible to store these non unique indexers - well u can store them but the non uniques are filtered out in the way back (they are stored in a flattened way(
trace the reading and u will see -

Okay, but in this case it should (like I outlined in #7788) raise an exception for all of these cases. What is the intended behaviour?
Also, this doesn't explain why test_wide_table_dups fails.
Comment From: jreback
you need to trace it. I don't really remember exactly what it does in the case of non-unique axes for table format.

Hi jreback, I don't really know how to continue.
