I seem to recall the CCNA instructor telling us that you weren't really supposed to screw a 50 ohm terminator onto an intrusive tap; I don't know if there's good reason for it or if it was just a general practice.
I'm taking that to mean that the terminator shouldn't be placed immediately adjacent to an intrusive tap. Or rather that you should have some length of cable between the intrusive tap and the terminator.
I can only guess that having a terminator too close interferes with or weakens the signal too much in some way.
