Comment (by kevinwhoffman):

 I just wasted hours trying to figure out why terms were not being assigned
 when `wp_insert_post()` was called via WP Cron. After finding this ticket,
 I discovered that a user capability check is preventing terms from being
 assigned because there is no user in WP Cron.

 For those looking to assign terms from a custom taxonomy to a post via WP
 Cron, you will have to call `wp_set_post_terms()` after `wp_insert_post()`
 as mentioned in the original report. Here is a snippet that allows you to
 assign terms using the same post array that you would normally pass to
 `wp_insert_post()`:

 {{{#!php
 foreach( $post_array['tax_input'] as $taxonomy => $terms ) {
         wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $terms, $taxonomy  );
 }
 }}}
