This bug causes massive proliferation of categories in places they're not supposed to be, which breaks pretty much everything that depends on accurate categories.

An example:
<noinclude> This is the "Image" template. It does stuff to image pages. </noinclude> <includeonly> Here I'm doing a bunch of stuff to the image page. <noinclude> <!-- If a page using this template is embedded within another page, noinclude will prevent that page from unintentionally becoming part of the Images category. This category, and everything else within the noinclude tags and the tags themselves, are supposed to be transcluded wherever this template is used. But, instead, the parser skips it, even though it is within includeonly or onlyinclude tags --> [[Category:Images]] </noinclude> </includeonly>
