I had Drupal 6.13 with Pathauto, Path Redirect, Path of course Views and Taxonomy enabled. And I noticed that some taxonomy terms were not displayed correctly. In fact, they were not displayed at all!
I`ve made some research and discovered that they were redirected from normal "taxonomy/term/tid" to "taxonomy/term" - the page, that does not exists on my site! Then I discovered that it was Path Redirect which made such strange redirects for my terms.
I just deleted that module and all terms started to work :))
In fact, I think problem lies in new settings in Path Redirect - to discard redirects that are not used for some times. They were not such option in 5th vertion and I`ve just updated the module for 6 - I did not even knew about new options! So, after 8 weeks, some rarely used terms simply dissapear, breaking my site...
I think you should - provide an information on your module page here, on Drupal.org + in Readme.txt + maybe an notification should appear in administration page?
Or - make option Do not discard redirects as default
+ Please, do research why discarded redirects lead to false pages? maybe, they should simply dissapear - in fact they do exists in base.
Thanks.

MichaelSRed commentedI am also experiencing this issue. I've temporarily disabled the Path Redirect module to make the taxonomy term pages work. I'm on Drupal core 6.14, Path Redirect 6.x-1.0-beta4, and Pathauto 6.x-1.1.

azinck commentedSame problem here:
Drupal 6.12, Path Redirect 6.x-1.0-beta4, and Pathauto 6.x-1.1
Whenever I create a new taxonomy term a spurious redirect gets created. The redirect seems to be redirecting the PREVIOUSLY created term to the 'taxonomy/term' page. To be clear:
1. I create term #32
2. The following redirect is automatically created:
FROM: taxonomy/term/31 TO: taxonomy/term/

azinck commentedI'm 99% sure Path Redirect is not at fault. It's a Pathauto problem: http://drupal.org/node/550864

azinck commentedOk, now I'm 100% sure it's not Path Redirect's fault. I've posted the fix here: http://drupal.org/node/550864#comment-2147148

dave reidYes, duplicate of an already-fixed Pathauto problem: #278368: taxonomy_term_path being passed TID instead of Term Object
