 When a taxonomy is shared across multiple post_types these are counted as
 a total of both.

 For instance:

 My custom category "discipline" is used on the post_types "course" and
 "summer_course".

 On one discipline the courses have 4 and the summer_courses have 7. In the
 backend the count is then "11" but when clicking the link on the course
 discipline I see only 4.

 Another bad thing about this is how hide_empty is working. If the courses
 has 6 courses with a discipline but summer_courses don't, the get_terms()
 will shown the discipline as not empty. It would be nice to specify which
 post_types should be including.

 I've found this solution but I really think that there should be a fix for
 more core as well:
