Comment (by dimagsv):

 Replying to [comment:2 mboynes]:
 > `/%category%/%postname%/` permalink structures fall into a special
 category called "verbose rewrite rules" where the pages aren't the
 fallback rules, which is why 'name' isn't set.

 > The feature is that it '''tries to guess the permalink of a would-be
 404'''. That's a fallback, like a spare tire, which is nice to have in an
 unforeseen circumstance but not to be used daily.
 In my opinion, this is a bug in the "fallback". Pages must be the fallback
 rules in any permalink structure and any url structure.
