   Up please ;)

   I'm gonna try to quick fix it for now.

   WP does it in includes/export.php on line 312

   Here's the code :

   /**
   	 * Output term meta XML tags for a given term object.
   	 *
   	 * @since 4.6.0
   	 *
   	 * @param WP_Term $term Term object.
   	 */
   	function wxr_term_meta( $term ) {
   		global $wpdb;
   
   		$termmeta = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->termmeta WHERE term_id = %d", $term->term_id ) );
   
   		foreach ( $termmeta as $meta ) {
   			/**
   			 * Filters whether to selectively skip term meta used for WXR exports.
   			 *
   			 * Returning a truthy value to the filter will skip the current meta
   			 * object from being exported.
   			 *
   			 * @since 4.6.0
   			 *
   			 * @param bool   $skip     Whether to skip the current piece of term meta. Default false.
   			 * @param string $meta_key Current meta key.
   			 * @param object $meta     Current meta object.
   			 */
   			if ( ! apply_filters( 'wxr_export_skip_termmeta', false, $meta->meta_key, $meta ) ) {
   				printf( "\t\t<wp:termmeta>\n\t\t\t<wp:meta_key>%s</wp:meta_key>\n\t\t\t<wp:meta_value>%s</wp:meta_value>\n\t\t</wp:termmeta>\n", wxr_cdata( $meta->meta_key ), wxr_cdata( $meta->meta_value ) );
   			}
   		}
   	}

   Edit.
   I added the following function (same as comment_meta()) :

   protected function term_meta($term)
   	{
   		global $wpdb;
   		$termmeta = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->termmeta WHERE term_id = %d", $term->term_id));
   		if (!$termmeta) {
   			return new Oxymel();
   		}
   		$oxymel = new WP_Export_Oxymel_Snake();
   		foreach ($termmeta as $meta) {
   			$oxymel->tag('wp:termmeta')->contains
   				->tag('wp:meta_key', $meta->meta_key)
   				->tag('wp:meta_value')->contains->cdata($meta->meta_value)->end
   				->end;
   		}
   		return $oxymel;
   	}
   

   And it is called here :

   ->oxymel($this->term_meta($term));

   
   	protected function terms($terms)
   	{
   		$oxymel = new WP_Export_Oxymel_Snake();
   		foreach ($terms as $term) {
   			$term->parent_slug = $term->parent ? $terms[$term->parent]->slug : '';
   			$oxymel->tag('wp:term')->contains
   				->tag('wp:term_id', $term->term_id)
   				->tag('wp:term_taxonomy', $term->taxonomy)
   				->tag('wp:term_slug', $term->slug)
   				->oxymel($this->term_meta($term));
   
   			if ('nav_menu' !== $term->taxonomy) {
   				$oxymel
   					->tag('wp:term_parent', $term->parent_slug);
   			}
   
   			$oxymel
   				->optional_cdata('wp:term_name', $term->name)
   				->optional_cdata('wp:term_description', $term->description)
   				->end;
   		}
   		return $oxymel->to_string();
   	}

   I have done the test manually with success.
   I have also tested successfully the import of the exported XML file.

   The command composer behat doesn't work on my computer. It always returns this error ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'wp_cli_test'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
   So I could not run the automatic tests.

   composer behat works well now on my computer.
   I have added a scenario and 2 tests.
   All the tests are successful.
