 Thanks, this seems sensible.

 Looking at it more closely, I don't think that it's a great idea for us to
 start accepting term objects in addition to term IDs. There aren't many
 places where we do this for terms (at least not that I can think of). When
 and if we have a proper `WP_Term` object, perhaps we can start thinking of
 retrofitting functions to accept it.

 I've simplified the patch and the unit tests in [attachment:33565.2.diff].
