Bug summary
ax.bar_label is not robust to bars with missing (nan) data values.
The problem is in here:
matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py
Lines 2625 to 2635 in 7a12f32
Because nan is neither greater than nor less than 0, ha and va never get defined, and don't have default values.
Code for reproduction
ax = plt.gca()
bars = ax.bar([0, 1], [np.nan, 1])
ax.bar_label(bars)Actual outcome

No error; no annotation generated. (Or maybe empty string?)
