 Parent category is ''parentcategory'' and his sub category is
 ''subcategory''.

 The URL will be ''domain.com/category/parentcategory/subcategory''.

 The problem is, that you will get the same page if you use any words as
 ''parentcategory''.

 Examples:
 - ''domain.com/category/xxx/subcategory''
 - ''domain.com/category/subcategory''
 - ''domain.com/category/foo/bar/subcategory''

 IMO {{{redirect_canonical}}} should do his work here (and sometimes it
 does).

 In 3.1 it does redirect.
 In 3.1.4 it doesn't redirect; after r17549.
 In 3.2.1 it doesn't redirect.
 Duck_ found that it does redirect before r18079.
 In current trunk it doesn't redirect.
