Every once in a while taxonomy/term/id is made into an alias for taxonomy/term. This causes 404s for all the taxonomy aliases.

I just added a new page, added a tag to it, then saved it. Everything good so far. The category page for that tag looks good. Then I edit the page again because I want to add another tag. The new tag gets saved as taxonomy/term/20. The alias category/support is created. But taxonomy/term/20 is also added as an alias to taxonomy/term. This seems to happen other times too with other "non-tag" vocabularies. I always have to go in and manually delete the alias to taxonomy/term. The default path for taxonomy automated settings is category/[catpath-raw]

What's going on? What am I doing wrong?

This is a known bug in Pathauto 6.x-1.1. Upgrade to the latest development build (6.x-1.x) and it will be fixed for you.
See #278368: taxonomy_term_path being passed TID instead of Term Object

I just tried installing the pathauto module today and seem to be having the same issue with the term aliasing. I'd rather not install dev code on my site, so I'm disabling for now.

Any idea when the next stable release will become available?

I'm not normally comfortable running a production site on dev code, but this is a rather major and annoying bug. The dev code is also a stable release, although 6.x-1.1 looks like it's a year old and a new release might be a good idea.
