Comment:

 As implemented in 4.7 RC, these meta capability checks accept a term_id
 with no taxonomy specified.  This is an issue for legacy installations
 that have term_id != term_taxonomy_id.  Taxonomy determination is now
 slated to fall to WP_Term::get_instance(), which will try to disambiguate
 but may return WP_Error.

 An obvious option would to require the additional taxonomy argument
 following term_id.  This would cause a fourth item in the $args array
 passed into the 'map_meta_cap' filter - a break with tradition, but not a
 problem for API-compliant plugins in my view.
