Comment (by GaryJ):

 "Items" is the quick solution which fixes the immediate incorrectness of
 "posts", but I still think (perhaps a new ticket) that there's room to be
 cleverer here that wouldn't take us down a rabbit hole.

 For instance, if my CPT is staff members, or a taxonomy of teams, then "8
 people" in a Support team or "6 teams" is going to look far better than "8
 items" (linking to people's names) or "6 items" (linking to team names).

 Multiple tag cloud widgets on a page is also going to be less than ideal,
 particularly for screen readers. Yes, "posts" may well be wrong, but
 "items" may well be too generic to be sufficiently right.
