Why is wordpress making a query for attachment instead of taxonomy?

I made a custom post type and I’ve made a taxonomy registered to the cpt and the standard ‘post’. This all works perfect.
Now I needed a 2nd taxonomy for organization reasons. I’ve simply copied the first one and changed the name and labels.
On the backend it all works normal, but on the front end clicking on it redirects to index.php. If I look via the debug toolbar at the query it is attachment=(term-name) instead of (taxonomy)=(term-name). Does anybody have any idea why wordpress does this? (Or to put it better, how did I make wordpress do this?)

This is how the taxonomies are registered, ‘arweb’ is the cpt and ‘onderwerp’ is the normal working taxonomy:

 add_action( 'init', 'register_custom_taxonomies' );
  function register_custom_taxonomies(){


    // ///////////////////// ONDERWERP //////////////////////
    $labels = array(
        'name'                       => _x( 'Onderwerpen', 'taxonomy general name' ),
        'singular_name'              => _x( 'Onderwerp', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
        'search_items'               => __( 'Zoek Onderwerpen' ),
        'popular_items'              => __( 'Popular Onderwerpen' ),

        'menu_name'                  => __( 'Onderwerpen' ),
    );

    $args = array(
