Description

See discussion here:

http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-testers/2007-September/005095.html

A category with a custom slug (a slug that does not match the sanitized form of the category name) does not map to the same term as a tag of the same name. It seems a reasonable expectation that the tag would map to the same term as a category of the same name.

Further, a tag named "Foo" maps to a category named "Foo Bar" if "Foo Bar" has a custom slug of "foo". In this case, perhaps "Foo" should be given a new term with a slug of foo-2 instead of sharing a term with a category that has a different name.

Also, since a post's tags are saved by name instead of term ID, tags can bounce to different terms if slugs are changed.

These issues are modest enough to live with for now. Let's revisit in 2.4.
