I’ve done a lot of reading about this issue today, including articles dating back over 7 years. I can’t believe this issue hasn’t been addressed in the WordPress Core. What’s even more baffling is this is the first time I’ve come upon this issue, and I use the:

/%category%/%postname%/

…Custom Permalink Structure, on just about every website I set up. This is the first time I’ve had an issue.

This certainly doesn’t appear to be a theme issue, so you are welcome to close this as resolved.
