 When creating a new term which matches an existing terms name, it uses
 that slugs slug as the slug prefix, which can result in an unexpected term
 slug.

 For example, take this:
 {{{
 Foo (slug: foo)
  - Bar  (slug: foo-bar)
 }}}
 If we now create a root level "Bar" term, it'll get a slug of {{{foo-
 bar-2}}}, when one would expect it to receive {{{bar}}} since no
 conflicting slug exists.

 This is related directly to [28733] / #17689.

 Unit test attached showing behaviour.
