Comment:

 @ Nacin: "If you want to get the terms for a custom taxonomy for a post,
 don't use get_the_category(). Use get_the_terms(), specifying the taxonomy
 you'd like."

 – I still don´t understand. what is a possible resolution, if what I want
 is exactly the standard 'category' to be listed in a custom post type?
 (this is what seems the concern of tcattitude, after all)
