Comment(by donncha):

 The cat_ID is supposed to update because all categories are global, but it
 probably shouldn't be incremented by one. It should get a random number
 above the count of categories in sitecategories.

 It updates because another blog on your system may have used that category
 and cat_ID. It should also update the categories of the affected posts. If
 it doesn't then that's a bug.
