 when you are using same taxonomy for more post types, and you look at the
 taxonomy edit screen (/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=taxonomy-
 name&post_type=post-type) the table on the right shows wrong count - total
 of all taxonomies.
 It is not exactly "problem", i understand why it is done, wp maintains
 only one count, but anyway it is a bug and may confuse someone, when he
 sees e.g. 5 items in the table, click on the count and there he would see
 only one item.
 IMO there are two possibilities how to solve it
 a) create counts "live" - not db efficient, but may not be a big problem,
 as the taxonomy edit screen is not opened too often
 b) put the counts to the taxonomy->post_type pairs table
