Comment:

 This is "by design" for loops, custom post types don't show in the
 standard loop, or archive loops.

 Taxonomies default to listing posts only, If it applies to other post
 types, then they're skipped unless you add it by hooking and modifying the
 queryvars on load.

 In my opinion, If a custom taxonomy is registered as public, then it
 should be querying all registered post types to that taxonomy.

 Date Timeline archive views are different, and like pages, custom post
 types should be excluded as currently happens.
