Comment:

 @jevuska Thanks for the clarification. On closer examination, it appears
 that you're using `descendants_and_self` incorrectly. This parameter
 expects a term ID, not a boolean. If you pass it `53`, it'll return term
 53 and all descendants. `true` gets cast to `1`, and you're probably
 seeing the notice because you're getting a `WP_Error` or some other weird
 response back (maybe because you deleted term `1`).

 See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-
 admin/includes/template.php?marks=63-64#L50 for more info on the
 parameter.
