Comment:

 {{{
 * @return array|false|WP_Error Array of term objects on success, false if
 there are no terms
 *                              or the post does not exist, WP_Error on
 failure.
 }}}

 This description suggests that `false` should be returned.

 However, if I am not mistaken, I was getting `WP_Error` in this case
 before 4.4
