Comment(by nacin):

 Turns out it is only WP_Error when the taxonomy doesn't exist.
 get_category() will return such a WP_Error via get_term(), but if the
 taxonomy exists but the term doesn't, then a null value is returned.

 For get_cat_name(), I think you should be expecting either a name or
 nothing.

 The larger fix I mentioned above doesn't seem to be needed here -- all we
 need to do is patch get_cat_name(), apparently.
