Comment:

 I'm going to mark this as a `wontfix`. I've started a discussion over on
 #21734 (see my latest comment ticket:21734#comment:19) to explore
 deprecating the remaining related code still in Core today.

 Global terms was "soft" deprecated in WP 3.0 shortly before this ticket
 was created, and is very broken in modern WordPress (shared terms and term
 meta do not work at all). Anyone still using this "feature" should
 consider finding an alternative way to accomplish their goals.
