Comment (by markjaquith):

 Intentional behavior.  Many people regard the default category as
 something that should only be checked if no other category is selected,
 not as something that should always be checked.  A quick save with no
 category set will set the default category.

 As always, open to arguments why this is a bad idea, but I've gotten a lot
 of positive feedback from people who were tired of having to uncheck
 "Uncategorized" every time they published a post.
