 == Bug ==

 Post's appear in the archive view for custom taxonomies that have post
 types that are not registered for the given custom taxonomy.

 This happens when a post type is removed from the taxonomy registration
 that currently has posts with said post type with associated taxonomies
 applied.  It doesn't seem like it should be assumed that taxonomy
 registration will always be handled in a static programmatic way that will
 never change.

 == Reproduce ==

 1.  Create a custom taxonomy registration for 'post' and 'page' post types
 2.  Add a few posts and pages to one of these custom taxonomies
 3.  Check and make sure these posts/pages are showing up on the custom
 taxonomy archive page
 4.  Now remove 'page' from the taxonomy registration
 5. Confirm that it is removed in the admin menus and page edit screen.
 6. Go back to the taxonomy archive page and you will see the pages you
 added still show up in the loop, now unable to manually remove the
 taxonomy term in the admin.

 == Solution ==

 Currently the query for a custom taxonomy defaults to 'any' post type with
 the taxonomy applied, if a post type has not been filtered in at this
 point. (query.php:2217)

 My proposed solution would be to recognize the taxonomy applied and use
 the post type registration to make the default post type selection,
 instead of assuming 'any'.

 This will prevent the situation of orphaned posts still showing up in
 custom taxonomy archives even after their post type is removed from the
 registration.
