It pretty much defeats the purpose of having subcategories.
By putting an article into a subcategory, you are effectively putting it into the parent category.
Maybe we should figure out a way to make that more obvious.
There is absolutely nothing at all in MediaWiki that makes a page in a subcategory behave like it's also in the parent category. Nothing. It's completely and utterly a construct in the mind of the user.
But it's by far the most logical construct to make, and there is very little reason to keep the software free from any support of that construct (even if it is to the detriment of other, more exotic constructs).
