Comment (by Howdy_McGee):

 The easiest way to see this is to print a Taxonomy archive query. Using
 hooks as the question mentioned `posts_where` and `posts_join` show empty
 post type even as the method keeps the post type in an un-passed
 `$post_type` variable.

 Honestly, I think if we're going to juggle post type we should do so as
 the Query post type `$q['post_type']`. This would ensure whatever hooks
 appear in the future will have an accurate Post Type.

 The given patch is the easy route and simply applies the current
 `$post_type` if the query post type index is empty.
