There are actually two problems, based on git bisect.

The first problem (showing bad counts) is:

a54dfe608536ae9af2cd2a8407fd02af63cec6f6 is the first bad commit
commit a54dfe608536ae9af2cd2a8407fd02af63cec6f6

I haven't figured out what's going on here.

The second problem (selecting the subcategory, and trying to untag the
subcategory untags the master and vice versa) is:

5f865348e266d88f2c90840fdee464cba1943e56 is the first bad commit

    configure all items

I have verified that applying the change below gets rid of the symptom
in question (but don't know what other effects it may have):
