 In trunk, when creating or editing a post (or CPT), adding a new category
 from within the post editor appears to be broken. Only hierarchical
 taxonomies are affected--it is possible to add new tags, but any taxonomy
 which behaves like a category has the same issue.

 Creating a new category from the Categories screen works as expected, and
 any existing category can be selected from the post editor, it's just that
 creating a new one doesn't work.

 I'm not seeing any JS errors, just nothing happens when the "Add New
 Category" button is clicked after entering the new category/term name. It
 does not matter if there is a parent term selected.
