Comment (by dd32):

 > In this specific case get_terms_to_edit() returns a WP_Error for a
 taxonomy that Schrödinger exists, it's then used as a string causing a
 fatal in the admin.

 Then WordPress needs to add a is_wp_check() to the result of
 get_terms_to_edit() and it's friends before attempting to use it as a
 string then. I've created #30472 for that.

 I'm not against this patch, but I do wonder if it'll actually be as useful
 as expected, or if it's just a hack to fix that one situation.
 A logging interface (PSR-3 style) seems to be a far better option IMHO.
