 In the Classic Editor, checking the "Uncategorized" checkbox (tag ID 1)
 also checks/unchecks all categories with an ID where the first digit is 1
 (e.g. 1, 10, 100, 1000).

 New in 6.7.1, likely related to #62440.

 Steps to reproduce in WordPress Playground:

 1. Activate Classic Editor plugin
 2. Create 11 categories – these will have IDs 2 through 12
 3. On post edit screen, check "Uncategorized" checkbox
 4. All categories with ID starting with a "1" are checked
