Comment (by shreya0shrivastava):

 Tested on WordPress 7.1-alpha-62161-src — this bug no longer reproduces.

 **Reproduction steps taken:**
 1. Created a `post_tag` term `test term` (single space) via
 `wp_insert_term()`
 2. Loaded all IXR dependencies via `glob( ABSPATH . 'wp-includes/IXR
 /class-IXR-*.php' )`
 3. Instantiated `wp_xmlrpc_server` directly
 4. Called `wp_newPost()` with `terms_names => [ 'post_tag' => ['test
 term'] ]` (double space)

 Post was created successfully with a post ID returned — no `A term with
 the name already exists` error thrown.
