Comment:

 Hi @sebastienserre - Thanks for the ticket and for the patch.

 WP intentionally caches empty arrays in cases where an object doesn't have
 any terms in a given taxonomy. This helps us to avoid excess database
 queries when, for example, you're fetching the `post_tag` terms for post
 `123`, but `123` doesn't have any terms from `post_tag`. Your suggested
 change will break this behavior, so that term queries that result in empty
 arrays will never be cached.

 If `get_term_object_cache()` is returning an empty array, it suggests that
 there's a problem further up the stack. The most likely problem is that
 the `{$taxonomy}_relationships` cache is not being properly invalidated
 somewhere in your setup.

 Are you able to reproduce your bug on a stock installation of WordPress,
 with no additional plugins and a clean database? Does it occur only with a
 persistent caching backend (Memcached, etc)? Can you provide steps to
 reproduce?
