 This might be solved in 3.0, I'm not sure, but please consider this case.

  - you have threaded categories, such as Phones -> HTC -> Hero, Phones ->
 HTC -> Sprint Hero. These show up correctly, threaded, in the edit post
 page, when none of them are selected.
  - now, if you check the box next to HTC and refresh the edit post page,
 the category tree is now destroyed because the checked categories get
 pushed up to the top. The problem is, that effectively normalized all
 subtags and pushes them to look like level 1 tags.

 See this screenshot (the top part is before I pressed Update):

 Thank you.
