Description
The builtin category and post_tag taxonomies have the query_var argument set to false.
This has undesired side effects, especially for plugins.

The reason the query vars are set to false is due WP_Query handling the query vars manually for those taxonomies.
Adding the query vars has some side effects i believe.
What are the problems plugins are running into?

I guess this calls for a more holistic approach. Will probably be addressed in #9951
What are the problems plugins are running into?
I'm enhancing my Query Multiple Taxonomies to allow term intersections and I need to treat tags and categories like a regular taxonomy.
I guess it's not such a common problem. :)
