Weird long-term follow-up, but I had a similar issue with being unable to delete Media Items in 6.2.x because
wp_delete_object_term_relationships( $post_id, array( 'category', 'post_tag' ) );
is hardcoded inwp-includes/post.php
and causes an error.So the
register_taxonomy('', nobody)
solution proposed in the first comment is the way to go.
