Comment (by boonebgorges):

 There are lots of plugins that use taxonomies for things other than post
 types. 'user' is a common one. (I have written a number that use
 taxonomies for BuddyPress objects.) `is_object_in_term()` currently works
 for these cases (except perhaps in edge cases where an object type not in
 the term shares an ID with a post that is in the term - this needs
 testing). Updating the general relationship caches in
 `is_object_in_term()` is going to cause weird problems if we do it in
 isolation. If we don't have a general solution for 4.3, then we should
 remove the cache check in this function altogether.
