Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble getting what I understand should be the
correct functionality out of WP_Query with custom taxonomies and
posts.

This code gets 10 posts of all types that are linked to the term_name;

global $wp_query;
query_posts( array(
    "taxonomy_name" => "term_name",
    'showposts' => 10 )
);

This code gets 10 posts of custom post type "message";

global $wp_query;
query_posts( array(
    'post_type' => 'message'
    'showposts' => 10 )
);

This code however always ignores the post_type requirement but still
selects all post types linked to the term_name;

global $wp_query;
query_posts( array(
    'post_type' => 'message' ,
    "taxonomy_name" => "term_name",
    'showposts' => 10 )
);
