I can pretty much promise that this won't be addressed in the 4x code line.
As far as whether returning an error when trying to create a core that already exists is an error or not, that's entirely a matter of interpretation. I argue that if my application is creating something that already exists, I want it to be an error so I can fix up my code not to do this. And _especially_ to not do something horrible through a typo. Imagine that you are counting on that created core to be empty. Or your first operation is to delete all the contents of the core and you create an existing core. Or..... I agree that the errors are ugly, if that's still true in 6.x we you could raise a JIRA (and provide a patch if you're feeling generous). Although the core creation in the 5x and 6x code lines is being handled by the bin/solr script and improvements will probably go there.
