Comment:

 This patch should stop fatal PHP errors from being thrown when the value
 of `get_terms_to_edit()` is a `WP_Error` or `boolean`.

 @dd32 could you please provide some information on how you caused the
 error in the first place so I can properly test the patch and also write
 unit tests if needed.

 Cheers,
 Derek
