Comment (by nilovelez):

 I can't find the changeset, but the HTML of the elements in the categories
 metabox is now like this:
 {{{
 <li id="in-category-2757063-1">
     <label class="selectit">
         <input value="2757063" type="checkbox" name="post_category[]" id
 ="in-category-2757063-2" checked="checked"> 2025
     </label>
 </li>
 }}}

 The <li> tag has now a -1 and the checkbox a -2 to prevent duplicate ids

 The javascript from the editor uses that id to query the element, grab the
 title and check it when clicked.

 There's a hundred better ways of doing this, but for now it's just a
 hotfix until we have a new version.
