Mentioned up thread KSEA (Seatac) had 8 landings on taxiway tango between dec 99 and nov 08 (about one a year) until the new 16R/34L was built. There were multitudes of go arounds. Most were by pilots with experience with KSEA and a multitude of operators. The airport even placed a giant yellow "X" at both ends of tango, there were still landings on tango and go arounds on tango.
The common element at KSEA, before the new runway, and Paphos is the placement of the taxiway in a configuration that placed the taxiway away from the terminal.
This is a human element, the human brain often reacts to what it expects to see. Throw in as many human elements that add up: long duty day, delayed flight, get there itis, last leg of the day, last day of a tough schedule, infrequent visitor to the airport, the list goes on.
