 Replying to [comment:6 leroy-b]:
 > what is a possible resolution, if what I want is exactly the standard
 'category' to be listed in a custom post type?

 Use
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy_for_object_type
 register_taxonomy_for_object_type()] or the `taxonomies` argument of
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
 register_post_type()] to add the default `category` taxonomy (or a custom
 taxonomy) to a custom post type.

 Use [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_category
 get_the_category()] retrieve categories assigned to the post (from the
 default `category` taxonomy).

 Use [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_terms
 get_the_terms()] to retrieve other terms assigned to the post (from custom
 taxonomies).
