We had a situation earlier whereby Short URL Manager tried and failed to apply a redirect to an existing route, despite the 'override existing' field set to 'no'. The response was a 422 and no error message, which meant the user had to get in touch with support.

We should investigate and fix the 'override existing' check, as well as do a better job at surfacing errors.

I tried and failed to recreate the scenario here in several different test files, but it may be useful as a starting point for whoever picks up the card.
