Comment (by nacin):

 'type' isn't an existing taxonomy, it's just a pseudo-reserved term due to
 the media library.

 IIRC, the conflict stems from a `type` query variable, rather than the
 taxonomy as a whole.

 I would rather adjust the media library, or temporarily force the
 unregistering of a `type` (and `tab`, I believe) query variable when
 loading up the iframe.

 N.B. taxonomy_exists() was renamed from is_taxonomy() in 3.0. The original
 function was introduced in 2.3.
