Comment:

 This issue is back. I opted to re-open this ticket rather than opening a
 new one. Apologies in advance if I made the wrong choice.

 I am seeing the same behavior in 3.0-alpha as the OP was seeing in 2.8.3.
 Here is my setup:

 - WordPress 2.9.2, upgraded to 3.0-alpha single mode, running bleeding
 edge via the WordPress Beta Tester plugin.[[BR]]
 - After upgrading to 3.0, no changes were made at all to the settings and
 no other plugins installed.

 I went to the Categories link and added the following:

 - WordPress (top-level category)[[BR]]
 - bbPress (subcategory of WordPress)[[BR]]
 - BackPress (subcategory of WordPress)[[BR]]
 - BuddyPress (subcategory of WordPress)

 The only other category that existed when I did this was the default
 category (Uncategorized).

 For all 3 subcategories, the parent slug was appended to the end of the
 subcategory slug (see attached screenshot). What Ryan said about appending
 the parent cat slug in order to make the subcategory slug unique if the
 same subcategory existed elsewhere isn't applicable here, as these are the
 only categories in this install.

 I have to edit each subcategory and manually delete the parent slug after
 they are created.
