taxonomy_term_count_nodes() flakes out: empty white screen when term has itself as parent

displays absolutely custom taxonomy display taxonomy term infinite loop

So yeah, that's pretty much it. Agaric's place module (place_taxonomy to be precise) has a custom page to display all countries with the number of actions and other content posted in them (yes, we will replace this with views eventually).

Somehow (Taxonomy_manager? Places_taxonomy's own save?) the term "Milano" got itself as a parent. The result: taxonomy_term_count_nodes() flakes out and causes the custom /countries page to display an absolutely empty white screen, no error messages anywhere.

Read this entry in reverse order to experience Agaric's road to understanding what was going on. (We deleted parts of our page until it came back, isolated the problem as being with taxonomy_term_count_nodes -- a Drupal core function, mind you, when we expected the problem to be one of ours -- and then recalled seeing something strange on the taxonomy administration list view...
