[wp-testers] Tags and Labels with the same name

Is there any particular reason why it looks like a conflict may exist
when a tag and a category exists with the same name?

I look at tags and categories as separate.  I may do multiples of both
though.  In the same respect I may have a tag as lowercase and a
category as capitalized (for viewing purposes).  Whenever I edit the
tag the category gets edited and vice-versa.  I can reproduce this
quite consistently.  On that note I use categories as primaries and
the tags are likely related items but not necessarily in the same
category so I could use "security" as an example here.  I would like
to have a tag that is "security" all lower-case and a category that is
"Security" where it is capitalized.  I may put security specific items
in the category but then also tag security related items and not drop
them in the category.

Running 2.8.5.  My code is managed via subversion so I do not use any
of the automatic upgrade facilities.  I did upgrade from 2.8.4 but I
committed a wipe of wp-admin and wp-includes before committing in the
new version.
