This is not a new problem, but I keep forgetting to bring it up.
Say you have two similar categories... say Wedding Cakes and Wedding Cupcakes
Then you decide that you want to just have one category called Wedding Cakes... So you delete the Wedding cupcakes category and select that all listing from the Wedding Cupcakes category be moved to the Wedding Cakes category upon deletion.
The problem is, if you have listings that are in both categories, say in Wedding Cakes and aliased in Wedding Cupcakes, when you delete the category, even the alias is moved, so you end up with two listings in the one remaining category.

I've fixed this in 6.0.5 Beta 1 and 5.1.52 Beta 2.
