 > The code reverted in [16505] was different than the patch I provided and
 has more far-reaching consequences.

 The code was different, but the intent was clear: don't set the post type
 to 'any' when categories and tags are involved, because this creates
 problems on some installs. So no, your patch is not appropriate.

 > I would think that the only difference between the use of "any" and a
 specifically-generated list of post types given the final query would be a
 possible query performance difference.

 The other difference is that it wouldn't affect sites that expect only
 'post' to be set. As I said before, you would have to explicitly enable
 it, either when defining your CPT or via
 register_taxonomy_for_object_type().
