xr.concat adds an extra array around elements

[Illviljan]

What happened?

When concatenating dataarrays with pd.Interval along a dim the pd.Interval is wrapped with a numpy array and appended instead of without like it it was before #5692.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

import numpy as np
import xarray as xr

shape = (2, 3, 4)
darray = xr.DataArray(np.linspace(0, 1, num=np.prod(shape)).reshape(shape))
bins = [-1, 0, 1, 2]
a = darray.groupby_bins("dim_0", bins).mean(...)
a_nan = np.nan * a.isel(**{"dim_0_bins": -1})
out = xr.concat([a, a_nan], dim="dim_0_bins")
print(out["dim_0_bins"])

Relevant log output

Current result:

<xarray.DataArray 'dim_0_bins' (dim_0_bins: 4)>
array([Interval(-1, 0, closed='right'), Interval(0, 1, closed='right'),
       Interval(1, 2, closed='right'),
       array(Interval(1, 2, closed='right'), dtype=object)], dtype=object)
Coordinates:
  * dim_0_bins  (dim_0_bins) object (-1, 0] (0, 1] (1, 2] (1, 2]

Should be:

<xarray.DataArray 'dim_0_bins' (dim_0_bins: 4)>
array([Interval(-1, 0, closed='right'), Interval(0, 1, closed='right'),
       Interval(1, 2, closed='right'), Interval(1, 2, closed='right')],
      dtype=object)
Coordinates:
  * dim_0_bins  (dim_0_bins) object (-1, 0] (0, 1] (1, 2] (1, 2]

Anything else we need to know?
