 * version:  trunk => 3.9


Comment:

 Not a new issue (whew). Happens on 3.9 too and probably further.

 It's expected behavior, in that it's not possible to make a child cat with
 the same name. Now I would think it **should** be possible, since it can
 just as easily toss the -2 appellation up in there.

 > Hierarchical, and it matches an existing term, Do not allow same "name"
 in the same level.

 So we did intend to do this. May be worth a revisit.
