Comment (by jpswade):

 Try this:

 1. Go to Post>Category (/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category)
 2. In the 'Name' field enter: Banana
 3. Press "Add New Category" button
 4. Go to Post>Tag (/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag)
 5. In the 'Name' field enter: Banana
 6. Press "Add New Tag" button
 7. Observe the 'Slug' is 'banana'
 8. Delete the tag 'Banana'
 9. Go to Post>Tag (/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag)
 10. In the 'Name' field enter: BANANA
 11. Press "Add New Tag" button
 12. Observe that the 'Slug' for the 'BANANA' Tag is 'banana-2'

 The case of the term does seem to matter as the results are different.
