[wp-testers] Custom Post Type and Taxonomy Permalinks Broken?

%postname%
    A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit 
Post/Page panel). So "This Is A Great Post!" becomes this-is-a-great-post in 
the URI (see Using only %postname%). Starting Permalinks with %postname% is 
strongly not recommended for performance reasons..

It also  says that for 3 other things going down the list.

I highly recommend you put something other then /%postname%/  the chance for 
unique identifying slugs is greatly reduced at that point.
