 Here is a tricky one. I am not 100% sure that this isn't design intent.

 So I have changed my permalink structure change from
 /%category%/%postname%/ to /%postname%/

 The redirection of the posts works fine for all posts except when the post
 contains a picture that has the same name as the post name.

 For instance, if I have a post called "nice car" which is accessible
 through the category "car review" and that contains an attachment called
 "nice car" :
 - before the migration, I can access the post through /car-review/nice-
 car/
 - after the migration, if I access through /car-review/nice-car/, I get an
 empty post with the picture "nice-car" and I am not redirected to /nice-
 car/ post (new permalink structure).

 The picture remains in fact accessible from any directory /toto/nice-car/,
 /titi/nice-car/, even if it doesn't exist. It isn't a big deal. The issue
 is rather that it is accesible through an url that will have priority over
 the redirection to the post because of this.

 I understand that this is a special case ;)
