On one of my sites, every so often categories with numerical names will
appear.

WordPress 2.5

Go to Manage / Pages
Assign a page a parent and save the change
Go to Manage / Categories
You now have a new category named '1'

I've tried this on two of my online web sites along with my local
server test site and they all seem to do the same thing. Word Press
(somewhere along the way) calls wp_insert_term. I'm fairly sure it has
something to do with attempting to add categories to a page in the
post update call.

I gave it a try on my main site (not a very good idea, I know!) but
can't verify your result/your site's behaviour.

But I noticed some weird result:
o) I gave my (edited) "About"-page a new parent as described. Now a "new"
About-Page appears in my main-navigation: it's URI is "/about-2/" (I am
using perma-links). The content seems to be the same as of a fresh/plain
WordPress-installation (say: the standard text-block beginning with "This is
an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to ...")
o) the "original" /about/ is under it's new parent - but it is not indented
(?) as expected, it breaks the layout (a bit).

So I put the page in it's correct context and layout seems normal. The
/about-2"-page isn't linked anywhere but I am able to find it when searching
for it's content.

This might be a theme problem on my side, just wanted to give a somewhat
detailed response.

Hope this is somewhat useful?
