It is likely the canonical redirect functionality that is doing that.
Your rewrite rule makes WordPress think it is a category query. You
can hook in to the 'redirect_canonical' filter to conditionally
disable this redirect.

Here is how it is called.

If you pass back FALSE, it will cancel the redirect.

If you hook in before template_redirect is fired, you could also
conditionally disable the canonical redirect code. Might be more
efficient.

This is how it is called:

> add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');

Some test like this could be used to trigger the override:
get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) == 'especialidad_informacion' &&
get_query_var( 'category_name' )
