Comment:

 As noted by swissspidy, this seems to be a misunderstanding of
 terminology. 'cat' is short for 'category'. 'category' is a specific
 taxonomy. When you register a custom taxonomy 'product_category', this is
 *not* the same as a WP 'category'. The two are siblings (they're both
 types of taxonomies); 'product_category' is not a type of category.

 I do recommend full `WP_Tax_Query` syntax in your code, for clarity.
 However, you can also use the following shorthand:

 `'product_category=foo,bar&...'`

 where 'foo' and 'bar' are the slugs of terms in your 'product_categories'
 taxonomy.

 Thanks for the ticket!
