We have successfully modified taxonomy. We also use a module called taxonomy_menu. It is capable of displaying a tree structure in the menu (left side) and displays normal taxonomy output in the main column.

We get the four tabs on pages that taxonomy_menu is generating, but no other modifications / customizations. Does this mean that Views somehow is unable to "hook" taxonomy_menu while it can successfully hook plain taxonomy?

Well, it seems this is a known problem:
"Is Taxonomy Menu compatable with Views"
http://drupal.org/node/122648

I would like to get to the bottom of the problem and find a solution. Seems no one has heard from the taxonomy_menu developers for some time, and the views developers are equally unresponsive to this support request.

Sorry, unfortunately this support request is way too specific. Please have a look at the issue queue - Views maintainers are buried already. You might want to try to get further support at http://drupal.org/support.
If you were able to solve this issue on your own in the meantime, you might want to add the involved steps to this closed issue, so other users searching for a similar solution might find it.

Our solution was to build the menu manually, utilize taxonomy queries, and URL Aliases to hide the taxonomy query URL syntax. More powerful that what that contrib mod would even do. Woo hoo! No contrib mod needed!
