Comment:

 On further thought, this function should be limited to post types. I was
 wrong earlier.

 Registering a taxonomy for an object type that isn't a post type is a
 fairly dangerous affair. If a single taxonomy handles both a post type and
 a non-post type, you end up with ID conflicts. I'm not sure I can think of
 a situation where it should be allowed. Removing this check therefore
 probably isn't prudent — actual assignment of a non-post object type
 should occur only on registration of the taxonomy.

 Wontfix.
