Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 This provides an immediate fix, but doesn't solve the UX problem (users
 still think they're adding a term until they've saved).
 {{{
 add_filter( 'pre_insert_term', function( $term ){
         // Accommodate any async processes
         if ( is_user_logged_in() && ! current_user_can(
 'manage_categories' ) ) {
                 return new WP_Error( 'insert-term', "Sorry, you can't
 create new terms" );
         } else {
                 return $term;
         }
 });
 }}}
