Comment (by dd32):

 > 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?

 Exactly that. When terms are not split, calling `get_term()` without a
 `$taxonomy` param will fail hard when you attempt to fetch it.

 I'm almost fine with saying that terms should be split at this point, I'm
 not sure how far ahead we can support them not being split.
 One option that @nacin suggested, was when we encounter a non-split term
 in an auth-situation was to cause it to be split.. something that
 shouldn't be hit very often.
