Almost everyone I've talked to had problems with party frames not showing up if you join a group while in Combat and other related issues. I noticed that most of my unitframe and raid addons cause taint since the Cataclysm patch, is this a known issue?
Unit frame addons, and most UI element addons for that matter, will not load during combat. They can only load out of combat. If loaded prior then you are fine. If they don't display then you have to reload the UI after combat is finished.
What you are describing has been in effect since day one, and will never change.

I don't know of any unit frame addons that don't create any frames before you join a group, since that would obviously prevent frames from showing up when you join a group while in combat.
To the OP: Which unit frames are you using? Have you double-checked that no updates are available? There's no categorical "group frames can't show up while in combat" problem, since mine (built on the oUF framework) work just fine.

It's actually only been in effect since WoW 2.0.1 hit back in 2006. Before that you could do anything you wanted, regardless of combat status. There were no secure frames, and no protected functions. :)
Well I made my own addons that change the party frame health and mana bars and apparently setting PartyMemberFrameNHealthBar.lockColor = true is causing taint. This didn't happen before the Cataclysm patch though so I'm not sure what is going on. .lockColor seems to work on all other statusbars except party bars..
I don't know what setting the lockColor flag does, but there's probably a way to accomplish the same thing without tainting by securely hooking the bar's update function(s).
