I can't reproduce that.  The "category not updated" message is only 
appearing if changing a slug to that of an actual, existing, tag. 
Deleted tags (even after being assigned to posts), I can re-use with no 
problem.

The really odd bit is that it's willing to let me add a new tag with the 
same slug as a category, and at that point the two seem to merge into 
one unit. But you can't modify an existing one to be the same.

I think it needs looking at as a bug.  I'll raise one now.
