 Take a new 2.3.1 install with this code:

 {{{$myposts = get_posts('category=2');}}}

 You would expect to get NO results, as an out-of-the-box install has no
 posts with category 2, but that code will return the "Hello World!" post.

 Guessing this might be caused by get_posts not discerning between post
 categories and link categories (e.g. the link with link_id=1 in category 2
 causes post with ID=1 to be returned).
