Problem/Motivation

If I use "Autocomplete (Tags with selectize.js)" on:

Entity reference (Taxonomy Term) field
"Create referenced entities if they don't already exist" enabled
One vocabulary selected

selectize works perfectly UNLESS I 'Add' a term that matches one that already exists within another vocabulary .

Then if I try and save the node it then fails with an error :

This entity (taxonomy_term: 124) cannot be referenced.

Where term 124 is the matching term in the other vocabulary. (Not the vocabulary set for the field).

Comparing validateEntityAutocomplete in Drupal\Core\Entity\Element\EntityAutocomplete and Drupal\selectize\Element\SelectizeEntityAutocomplete it seems the issue is the options are set differently now :

$options = $element['#selection_settings'] + [
  'target_type' => $element['#target_type'],
  'handler' => $element['#selection_handler'],
];

Drupal\Core\Entity\Element\EntityAutocomplete

$options = [
  'target_type' => $element['#target_type'],
  'handler' => $element['#selection_handler'],
  'handler_settings' => $element['#selection_settings'],
];

Drupal\selectize\Element\SelectizeEntityAutocomplete

Changing it the selectize one to match seems to solve the issue.
