Comment (by torben.tschechne@…):

 A quick update.

 This happens when I want to determine the category description of a
 product category and this call:
 {{{
 return term_description( $category, 'category' );
 }}}

 in category_description. If I change this to

 {{{
 return term_description( $category, 'product_cat' );
 }}}

 it works. However this is not happening in 4.8.3. So I assume that
 category_description() is not usable in 4.9 for product_cat anymore.
