Comment (by nerrad):

 Keep in mind when revisiting.  This decision regarding taxonomies affects
 not only category and tag intersections but also any future taxonomies
 plugin authors create.  To keep terms canonical between category and tags
 is one thing but to force that on all future taxonomies might not be the
 best route to take.

 I suggest adding a new 'canonical' paramater to the $args variable that
 defaults to true and running the current code.  Plugin authors can set it
 to "false" (when calling wp_insert_term to allow inserting a slug with the
 same name as another taxomony for their taxonomy.

 Of course this still requires dropping the index for slugs in the wp_terms
 table.
