Comment:

 I've retested this on a 3.0-single WordPress install (latest nightly) and
 the issue is still fixed there.

 I've tested this on a 3.0-multisite WordPress install (latest nightly)
 this evening, and the top-level category slugs are being appended multiple
 times when creating a subcategory or sub-subcategory with an existing name
 (see attached screenshot). (I did not choose either option in Global Terms
 in the Super Admin>>Options on this install.)

 I know that the slug needs to be unique if it already exists; however,
 rather than appending the names of all the categories/subcategories above
 it, couldn't a unique number be appended to the slug instead?
