Comment (by iamfriendly):

 As an addition, the quick edit notice is:

 "The slug [slug-here] is already in use by another term"

 Which is much more useful.

 This appears to be from Line 1680 of wp-includes/taxonomy.php

 After looking further through edit-tags.php it appears that if there is
 absolutely any error at all then it simply punts the same message 'Item
 not updated'. This can be seen on line 143-146 which basically says if
 there's no error say 'Item updated' but if there is, say 'Item not
 updated'

 From what I can tell there's no checking what the actual error is.
