API: Index doesn't results in PeriodIndex if Period contains NaT

doc/source/whatsnew/v0.19.0.txt

@@ -267,6 +267,8 @@ API changes
 - ``.filter()`` enforces mutual exclusion of the keyword arguments. (:issue:`12399`)
 - ``PeridIndex`` can now accept ``list`` and ``array`` which contains ``pd.NaT`` (:issue:`13430`)
 - ``__setitem__`` will no longer apply a callable rhs as a function instead of storing it. Call ``where`` directly to get the previous behavior. (:issue:`13299`)
+- Passing ``Period`` with multiple frequencies to normal ``Index`` now returns ``Index`` with ``object`` dtype (:issue:`13664`)
+- ``PeriodIndex.fillna`` with ``Period`` has different freq now coerces to ``object`` dtype (:issue:`13664`)
