Comment(by dd32):

 > /category/<cat>/&ExtraUselessDataThatsNotASubCat/ seems to handle the &
 incorrectly.

 Fixed, The new eval() replacement query parser was creating
 {{{category_name=cat-name-here/&foo=bar&post_name=blah}}}, and parsing
 that, Whereas, It should've been treating &foo=bar as part of the category
 name. Fixed in [13071]

 > /category///////<cat>/ seems to handle the slashes incorrectly, That
 should be redirecting too i believe.

 That doesnt happen for posts, as we generate the posts permalink and
 redirect if its different, [13072] strips multiple slashes out of the URL
 path if they're present, that should solve that problem.

 > /yyyy/mm/slug1/slug2/ redirects to /yyyy/mm/slug2/ I think this is the
 opposite of what is supposed to happen in canonicalization, since the
 canonical URL for /yyyy/mm/slug1/garbage* should always be /yyyy/mm/slug1/

 Remains.
