This patch should stop fatal PHP errors from being thrown when the value of get_terms_to_edit() is a WP_Error or boolean.

@dd32 could you please provide some information on how you caused the error in the first place so I can properly test the patch and also write unit tests if needed.

Cheers,
Derek

In 35139:

Taxonomy: get_terms_to_edit() can also return false or WP_Error. Vars using it should be set to empty string when errors are returned to avoid producing fatal errors when used in string operations.

Props valendesigns.
Fixes #30472.
