Seeing this as well but only on a production site although its dev site works flawlessly.
The prod site did so until recently as well, so I don't know what happened.

I may not view /taxonomy/term/1 anymore, either, not even as administrator.

This is really weird.

However, the changes in your commit do seem to solve it for me (at least I think I placed them in the right place (line 200 in src/Service/AccessCheck.php right now).

I also see the following in the log:
Path: /taxonomy/term/1. Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException: in Drupal\permissions_by_term\Listener\KernelEventListener->handleAccessToTaxonomyTermViewsPages() (line 217 of /var/www/drupal/web/modules/contrib/permissions_by_term/src/Listener/KernelEventListener.php).

It only happens to this one term and I cannot seem to change that, even if I manually allow only one user to use this term (the settings just don't get saved).

Found the problem, finally.

We have a mixed taxonomy that defines the roles and possible other tags used for tagging pages. Now I know this is a bad idea.
It seems some user mod assigned the term 1 as a role (although it is just a tag for promoting content to the front page in my case).

This caused hell to break lose.

I finally fixed it by
- delete from permissions_by_term_user where tid=1;
- Rebuilding node access permissions from the status page
- Rebuilding cache

This may be a different issue than the one described by OP, but a very similar outcome.
