Comment (by kitchin):

 The patch for `wp_check_for_changed_slugs()` is `post.php` is here if you
 want it, and it explains the source of the problem. But I would skip it,
 since it's hard to test and it removes '_old_slug' values in some cases
 where you might want to keep them. It is better than the current code in
 preventing cruft, though.
