Comment:

 > This will result in a Category called Banana with the slug 'banana' and
 a Tag called 'BANANA' and the slug 'banana-2'.

 This appears to be the expected result, see the description of
 [source:tags/3.9.1/src/wp-includes/taxonomy.php#L2766
 wp_unique_term_slug()].

  The $slug has to be unique global to every taxonomy, meaning that one
 taxonomy term can't have a matching slug with another taxonomy term. Each
 slug has to be globally unique for every taxonomy.

 The case of the term name doesn't matter.

 We do create shared terms if there's an exact match (see #5809, #21950,
 #23199), but the plan is to get rid of them:
