#if introduces a newline in certain circumstances, which causes
problems. However you don't even need it in your example. Try:
<includeonly>{|
|align="center"|Also see [[{{{term|{{{1}}}}}}]]
|}</includeonly>
which should fix the issue.
If you were doing a more complicated example that actually needed the
#if, you could also try putting the : outside the variable:
<includeonly>{|
|align="center"|Also see [[:{{#if: {{{term|}}}|{{{term}}}|{{{1}}}}}]]
|}</includeonly>
(I'm not really sure why the above works. I think the newline gets
suppressed if the previous line ends in a word character or something)
If you really didn't want to force a : to always be there, the last
option is to move the brackets inside the clauses of the #if:
<includeonly>{|
|align="center"|Also see {{#if: {{{term|}}}|[[{{{term}}}]]|[[{{{1}}}]]}}
|}</includeonly>
Hope that helps.
