I've added code which prevents user from submiting 2 roles with the same name.

+1 on feature (I think it's always useful to have these kind of checks -- will probably save us bug reports in the future;), but -1 on the patch. It's not necessary to call db_fetch_object to just get a role id. You can change it to this:
$rid = db_result(db_query("SELECT rid FROM {role} WHERE name = '%s'", $edit['name']);
and then simply
if ($rid) {
.
.
.

Ok, I've changed code. I hope that this code will be good enough. ;)

+1. Patch applies and works as expected.

Any reason you can't use the same code twice? I like the first approach better; avoids an object being created.

Patch no longer needed: uniqueness of role names is enforced in HEAD in the user_admin_role_validate() function.
