Comment:

 Back Again :-)

 I've checked the slug out more and it is already being sanitised. The
 problem with the initial patch was that the un-encoded variable is still
 passed further down the script in the patched file. An updated patch is
 attached.

 There is another by sending $name rather than $cat_name to the
 wp_insert_term() function.
