 A category with a custom slug (a slug that does not match the sanitized
 form of the category name) does not map to the same term as a tag of the
 same name.  It seems a reasonable expectation that the tag would map to
 the same term as a category of the same name.

 Further, a tag named "Foo" maps to a category named "Foo Bar" if "Foo Bar"
 has a custom slug of "foo".  In this case, perhaps "Foo" should be given a
 new term with a slug of foo-2 instead of sharing a term with a category
 that has a different name.

 Also, since a post's tags are saved by name instead of term ID, tags can
 bounce to different terms if slugs are changed.
