Comment (by Otto42):

 The problem is more generic than this.

 In theory, a post must have a category associated with it. A lot of code
 in WP makes that assumption.

 If you use the cat2tag converter, it is possible to convert all of a posts
 categories into tags, leaving a post without a category. This results in
 some odd behavior on the Manage Posts screen, among other places.

 A check needs to be put into place to adjust posts after tag conversion,
 such that all the posts that now have "no" categories get put into the
 default category.
