Comment:

 Gonna close this bad boy for the reasons outlined in #18106. You can
 finagle it by doing `get_posts( array( 'tax_query' => ... ) )` to get the
 post order, then looping through results, grabbing term IDs (which will
 have been loaded into the cache, so no real overhead added), and then
 passing to `get_terms( 'my_taxonomy', array( 'orderby' => 'include',
 'include' => $term_ids ) )`.
