My thoughts on this are much the same as Vargr's. The Globals shouldn't be inviolate; they should just import themselves again like any other Realm's Categories if needed. But that's not what they chose. ::shrug::
As far as duplicating names, my guess is that each Category and Tag Domain are actually identified by realm-local unique IDs. (These could be GUIDs or use some other scheme.) That way shared items can be tied to their source realm by their ID and the realm's GUID. The name is only for display purposes for the silly humans. :)
In my Paranoia realm I ended up adding " (Paranoia)" to my Categories whose names would have been the same as the Globals and starting the Abbreviation with "pxp". Thus "Location" became "Location (Paranoia)" and "Loc" became "pxpLoc". (If it became relevant, there'd also be "p1e", "p2e", "p25", and "p6e" Abbreviations, but as I originally didn't plan on handling multiple versions of the system "pxp" became the generic one.)
