Comment (by nacin):

 I was afraid of that. I think this is actually fixable in WP_Screen.

 When we aren't given a hook_name, we try to clean the post type and
 taxonomy from `$_REQUEST`. We also try to set $post_type to 'post' on
 edit-tags.php when we have no $post_type. But we should always try to set
 $post_type to 'post', whether or not we're given a hook name.

 See [attachment:21871.4.diff].
