Merging matching terms creates a term with itself as a synonym

Hey, first off, this module really rocks, and makes dealing with Taxonomy so much easier, so thanks for all the work it must have taken.

I have an issue that I'm trying to understand. Let's say I have two separate vocabularies with the same terms in them, and I run into and issue where it makes sense to move the matching terms to one of the already existing Vocabularies. Doing this I end up with two matching terms with different term ids in the same Vocabulary, so I merge them into one term. All goes as planned, no problem.

When I look at the result of the term merge, the term is correct, but there is a synonym of the term that is the same as the term.

Example:

• Two Vocabularies: 'Story' Vocabulary and 'Event' Vocabulary
  • both have the term 'Festival'
• I choose to move the Festival term from 'Story' Vocabulary to 'Event' Vocabulary\
  • Event Vocabulary has two terms 'Festival' with different term ids
  • I merge the Festival terms to one term called 'Festival'
    • The merge results in the term Festival, but there is also a synonym for the term also called 'Festival'

======== End Example ========

This happens if I type in the word for the new resulting term, or if I point the merge to one of the existing term ids.

My question is, will a term with a synonym of the same name result in an endless loop somewhere? Could I, should I delete the synonym?
