Comment(by ryan):

 That check does prevent the user from doing really silly things with
 slugs. Like creating an "Apple" tag with "apple" slug and then creating an
 "Orange" tag with an "apple" slug (which will end up apple-2 and two tags
 with the same name will appear).  Perhaps a better patch is to do the dupe
 check only if the provided slug does not match the slug generated from the
 name. This way people who fill in the slug to match the name won't get a
 dupe error.
