 Replying to [comment:5 boonebgorges]:

 > > If query is by name and the string is not numeric, pass it to
 sanitize_title() and then run the query by slug. That'll work in every
 case except where there are duplicate names (and in that case, one cannot
 complain).

 > No, because it's possible to create a term with a `name` that is totally
 unrelated to the `slug`. The correct fix is to use `sanitize_term_field()`
 instead of `sanitize_title_for_query()` inside of
 `WP_Tax_Query::transform_query()`.

 Oh that's right - I forgot about the direct editing of slugs.
