Taxonomy Page Condition not active when views uses same path

Problem/Motivation

We are encountering the issue outlined here: https://api.drupal.org/comment/50608#comment-50608, causing the following line not to work as expected:

$obj_page = menu_get_object('taxonomy_term', 2);

Proposed resolution

Attempt to get the current term using an alternative method as suggested in https://api.drupal.org/comment/56238#comment-56238
