Comment (by snakefoot):

 After the unique index has been removed with 4.1.1, then I can correct the
 slugs directly using the php-dbadmin.

 But the query-lookup only looks at the last slug, and gets confused by
 similar slugs with different parents. The original version checked the
 hierarchy if pretty permalinks was activated.

 I have attached a simple plugin, that performs this parent lookup and
 fixes the category term_id (category-slug-hierarchy.php)
