What we really need are ways to display the unions and intersections of categories, which would allow you to create the same effect on an individual-by-individual basis without disturbing the hierarchical order. David says work is being done on this, and says mySQL is at fault for the slowness of the work; I can't say I find the latter surprising. Hopefully something can be done about this on the software side, because your particular problem can probably be solved without having to go as far as to change the culture of categories.
I should note: I know this only from reading wikitech-l. I don't do coding at all myself.
