Comment:

 This also prevents anybody from being able to edit any categories nested
 beyond 2 layers deep. They will not show up in the primary manage
 categories table. (CatChild in the example of catParent1 > CatParent2 >
 CatChild) Raising severity to high due to inability to manage core site
 data elements.

 The table rows are built in the function cat_rows (/wp-
 admin/includes/template.php) which calls get_categories with an array of
 arguments. However, the nested categories do show up in the
 category_parent dropdown of the add/edit category form. This form also
 calls get_categories with a different set of arguments via
 wp_dropdown_categories (/wp-includes/category-template.php/)

 A duct tape solution was proposed in the original thread on wp.org where
 this bug was identified (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224546). but
 the author (me) fully admits there are probably more elegant solutions
 that should be used to resolve this.
