(other))

Categories don't react well to their members moving between special-cased
namespaces (Category ↔ File ↔ (other)).
This was probably never noticed before Ic93616a5 because people rarely use
categories that contain both files and pages. However, categories very often
contain pages and sub-categories. (Also, no one in their right mind would move
between File and other namespaces, while accidentally creating a category
description page in a wrong namespace is not impossible.)
* On pl.wp, a user mistakenly created [[pl:Odmiany herbu Brodzic]],
categorizing it under [[pl:Category:Herby szlacheckie]] (with sortkey
'Brodzic'), then moved the page to [[pl:Category:Odmiany herbu Brodzic]].
* When you look at [[pl:Category:Herby szlacheckie]], the subcategory is
not shown and the page claims there are 72 subcategories.
* Click "next 200" at the bottom. Our subcategory appears *first* on the list,
and the heading order is messed up ('B', ' ', 'A', 'C', …). The page claims
there are 73 subcategories now.
* Click "next 200" at the bottom again. Our subcategory disappears and all
is well again.
It is worth noting that the last member on the first page of the category is
'Borch III', which sorts before 'Brodzic' (the sort key for the problematic
subcategory).
I'm not sure exactly what happens, but it looks like the status of the category
member as regular page vs subcategory is not consistent (it sorts like a page,
but displays like subcategory?).
