Comment (by jpswade):

 I tested the 'Allow Duplicate Slugs' plugin by 'John Blackbourn', however,
 this did not seem to allow duplicate slugs. John suggests it has stopped
 working since v3.9, but he's yet to explore the problem.

 I also tested the 'wp-includes_post.diff' patch to v3.9.1, this did not
 allow duplicate slugs either. Using the 'quick edit' of my custom
 taxonomy, it gave the error: The slug “banana” is already in use by
 another term.

 I also tested the patch by 'jfarthing84' instead on v3.9.1, this also did
 not allow the slug to be changed.

 This does seem to be a common problem.

 A quick search in Google for "slug" "is already in use by another term"
 "wordpress" renders about 389,000 results.
