Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 I agree that it's confusing if you have multiple subcategories with the
 same name. It's a usability issue, as noted in comment:12:ticket:10982.
 However, that's how the current implementation works.

 Use the plugin linked above if you need to keep the original hierarchy
 visible.

 > The plugin that's linked says it's compatible up to 3.7.1... can anyone
 confirm that it works for 4.0?

 Yes, it does.
