Comment (by nerrad):

 Looks like this can't be fixed because the current db schema slugs have a
 UNIQUE key in the _terms table.  I can understand wanting to make sure
 that there are unique slugs per taxonomy but isn't it overkill to have
 unique slugs across all taxonomies?

 I understand the necessity for unique slugs with posts but the current
 default permalink structure would allow for like slugs in different
 taxonomies.

 I propose that the SLUG field in the _terms table not be UNIQUE and the
 suggested attached patch be applied to allow identical slugs in
 ''different'' taxonomies
