Comment:

 Good call @peterwilsoncc!

 Just tested on `trunk` using the same steps as before, which were:

 1. Run `wp_set_object_terms()` to set the category as `foo & bar`.
 2. Manually rename `foo & bar` to `this & that`, keep the slug as `foo-
 bar`.
 3. Run `wp_set_object_terms()` to set the category as `this & that`.

 Before [52921]:
 - Fails on 3: `A term with the name provided already exists with this
 parent.`. ❌

 After [52921]:
 - Succeeds on 3: The category is set to `this & that` (slug: `foo-bar`).
 ✅

 -----

 - Fixed in [52921].
 - Related ticket: #36949.
