Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

In [2]: mi = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['a', 'b'], [0, 1]])

In [3]: mi.get_loc(('a', True))
Out[3]: 1

In [4]: mi.get_level_values(1).get_loc(True)

Problem description

From #18519 (comment) , just to keep track of it (and add a test in #19074 , which fixes it).

Expected Output

KeyError: True in Out[3]: 1 too, Out[5]: like Out[6]:.
