Comment (by judgej):

 This caused us a headache trying to trace the cause too.

 We are wanting to use grades of music albums as a taxonomy in a shop. The
 list includes "M", "M+" and "M-" in the grades. Even though we can create
 all three taxonomies through the admin pages, we cannot assign either "M+"
 or "M-" to a post. Doing so will link the post to just "M" instead.
