 One of my plugin users reported this while using dropdowns to display his
 categories: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-my-category-order-
 multiple-widget-support-broken

 I was able to duplicate it on my own site in 3.0.1. Any category that has
 children displayed in the dropdown will redirect to /?cat=## instead of
 the the friendly /category-name permalink when selected. Select any other
 category or one of the children and they redirect correctly.

 Any thoughts?
