Comment (by johnbillion):

 There are a couple of other places in core where the optional `$taxonomy`
 parameter isn't passed to `get_term()`:

 * https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/edit-
 tags.php?rev=39308#L138
 * https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/capabilities.php?rev=39308#L277

 Do these situations need to handle non-split shared terms too? If so, do
 we need a generic handler? Or can we assume that all calls to `get_term()`
 cannot be considered reliable for non-split shared terms when the
 `$taxonomy` parameter isn't specified?
