Comment:

 This has been its behavior since introduction. Often you may do:
 {{{
 if ( is_tax() ) {
   // do something
 } elseif ( is_category() ) {
   // categories
 } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
    // tags
 }
 }}}

 This kind of construct absolutely appears in core in some manner in some
 places. Indeed, this would break the template loader, as is_tax() gets
 called before either of the others.

 It's well-documented as current conditional tag behavior. Better to leave
 it alone.
