Comment (by Ipstenu):

 Cannot reproduce quite this way...

 If you try to add or edit a tag NAME to be `<>` from
 https://local.plugins.dev/wp-admin/edit-tags.php it tells you it cannot
 edit the tag

 If you try to edit the tag slug to be `<>`, it reverts to the slugified
 tagname (no matter what your slug was before - so if you had a tag with
 the name 'foobar' and a slug as 'notfoo', putting in `<>` makes the slug
 foobar ... Not sure if that's wrong though it was unexpected).

 That said, `<>` is an invalid tag name, so perhaps an error should be
 thrown when a post cannot be updated?
