 When creating a custom taxonomy, everything works great with the auto-
 handling of everything.  This issue occurs when a taxonomy archive is
 being viewed.

 {{{
 add_action( 'init', 'create_my_taxonomies', 1 );

 function create_my_taxonomies() {
         register_taxonomy( 'animals', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' =>
 false, 'label' => 'Animals', 'query_var' => 'animals', 'rewrite' => true )
 );

         register_taxonomy( 'places', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' =>
 false, 'label' => 'Places', 'query_var' => 'places', 'rewrite' => array(
 'slug' => 'places' ) ) );

         register_taxonomy( 'people', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' =>
 false, 'label' => 'People', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => false ) );
 }
 }}}

 I set up three taxonomies here.  If setting `rewrite` to `true` or to a
 specific slug, a 404 is returned when visiting the taxonomy archive (first
 two taxonomies).

 Example URL: `http://localhost/places/andromeda` (404)

 If setting `rewrite` to `false`, no posts are returned when visiting the
 taxonomy archives (last taxonomy).

 Example URL: `http://localhost/?people=angel` (no posts)

 This is huge considering that the new "auto-taxonomy" stuff has been added
 in this version.

 This was working great at an earlier revision, but I can't be sure which
 one.  The taxonomy archive would list posts just like the tag archives
 would but doesn't now.
