When faceted search for tags is set up to return tag terms in alphabetical order (stock Search portlet), not all tags passing the frequencyThreshold will be displayed, even when we haven't already displayed 'maxTerms' count of terms (10 by default.

Example:
(1) setup tag facet terms to be "frequencyThreshold: 1", "order: 'OrderValueAsc'" and "maxTerms: 10".
(2) have tag terms returned for a query like ("<tagname> : frequency"):

aaa: 0
bbb: 0
ccc: 0
ddd: 3
eee: 0
fff: 0
ggg: 1
hhh: 0
iii: 0
jjj: 2
kkk: 1
lll: 0
mmm: 3
nnn: 2

Results: You'll see this in Tags' facet on the left:
ddd: 3
ggg: 1
jjj: 2

The tags "kkk", "mmm" and "nnn" will not be listed, even when we haven't rendered 10 tags yet and they meet the frequencyThreshold.
