Comment:

 I've got the same problem with the 3.6 wp version.
 If I have a parent-category 1 and a child-category 2 I have:

 mysite.com/?cat=1 => no redirect

 mysite.com/?cat=2 => redirect to mysite.com/category/child-category

 I discover this behavior due to the category-list widget and my webpage
 stat.
