Comment(by dd32):

 I did that for a specific reason, At the time, I believe it was for back
 compat reasons. Its possible to have a Term in multiple taxonomies by
 having the name the same. (Ie. Create Tag "Test" and category "Test" and
 they'll both get 'test' slug, and the same TermID).

 That branching selection, was to ensure that that was still possible if
 the slug was provided..

 Personally.. I dont know why anyone would want that (to me) strange
 behaviour.
