Comment:

 Sorry to pile on here guys, but you need to think bigger.  In taxonomy
 handling the exact opposite problem exists:

 /category/subcat2/ is treated as identical to /category/cat1/subcat2/ with
 no forwarding.

 Whatever strategy is adopted, it should be applied globally instead of
 piecemeal.
