 I just retested, you know what you are correct. My apologies My permalink
 settings were not exactly
 `/%category%/%postname%`, and testing that it was fine as you said.

 With that said it might still be a bug: The exact permalink setting I had
 was `/%category%/%postname%.html` (.html at the end). I guess adding the
 `.html` at the end causes /0/ to match as mentioned initially.
