Calling get_term() with just ID, then calling it again with ID and a different taxonomy returns the same term

Description
I have a category term ID of 29, and calling get_term() with that ID returns the category. However, if get_term() is called again with both ID and 'post_tag' taxonomy, the original category term is returned.
It appears that the $_term variable is not getting cleared out in WP_Term::get_instance() when there is a term already in the cache, so it's always using that term even when the taxonomy does not match.
Some sample code to replicate this:
<?php add_action( 'init', function() { // Use a valid category term to replicate this. $category_term_id = 29; echo '<pre>'; // Shows the correct category term. $term = get_term( $category_term_id ); var_dump( $term ); // Still shows the category term, but should be empty // due to the different taxonomy. $term = get_term( $category_term_id, 'post_tag' ); var_dump( $term ); die(); } );
Working on a patch, bug was originally brought to light by @ninnypants in our company Slack while working on a project.
