Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Discovered today: Core adds a lot of dynamic properties to `WP_Term`. For
 example:

 *  `wp_tag_cloud()` adds `link` and `id` dynamic properties.
 * `_make_cat_compat()` adds `cat_ID`, `category_count`,
 `category_description`, `cat_name`, `category_nicename`,
 `category_parent`.

 This ticket is only dealing with the `data` dynamic property. That no
 longer makes sense, given there are many other dynamic properties added
 and used within Core itself.

 While this ticket could be repurposed, I'm thinking it might be better to
 close it. Why? The ticket is extensively all about the `data` property.
 I'm thinking a new ticket needs to be opened for how to deal with all of
 the dynamic properties Core adds / uses for `WP_Term`.
