Comment (by jberthon):

 I have a similar problem.

 What does not work is any custom permalink which does not start by /index/
 or /index.php/.[[BR]]
 So if I use /index/%category%/%postname% the permalink is working, I mean
 that when I click on an article, page, etc. I actually see it.[[BR]]
 If I use /%category%/%postname% the permalink is not working. On the front
 page, the link seems to be correct to a post (<blog URL>/category/article)
 however if I click on the link I get a HTTP 404 error.

 However, in my case, if I replace index or index.php by category, I have
 also the HTTP 404 error :-(

 Note that:[[BR]]
 /%category%/%postname% will create a link in the form <blog
 URL>/mycategory/mypost[[BR]]
 whereas[[BR]]
 /index/%category%/%postname% will create a link in the form <blog
 URL>/index/mycategory/mypost

 Configuration:
  - brand new installation of Wordpress 2.1.2
  - Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.5 PHP/5.2.1

 I hope the target milestone will be reconsidered and this issue soon be
 solved...
