Comment(by miqrogroove):

 > But in the case of an empty category, it has found something

 What did it find, and how is it relevant?  This is a direct quote from a
 fresh WordPress installation:

 "Sorry, but there aren't any posts in the term1 category yet."

 That is the ONLY content being displayed other than the headers and
 footers.  That is a not found condition, and that is exactly what the 404
 status is used for.
