I'm about to do an upgrade.
I wanted to do a test upgrade on my own server and took the following steps:
MySQL dump of database
uploaded MySQL database onto new server
uploaded all files onto new server
Everything is running smoothly, but when I attempt to add content, the categories are no longer the same.
What's going on here?

When you say "no longer the same" ... what do you mean?
I presume you're seeing terms, but not the ones you expected ... but what surprises you about them?
Are they from a different site? Different language? Random nonsense? Vocabularies swapped around?
Vocabularies
The vocabularies have been swapped around, to where the categories for the blog is showing old categories that should no longer be in the list.
Doesn't drupal manage all of this in the database? If so, I'm wondering why, if I do a complete database dump, drupal is pulling in different results for the categories when I attempt to create content.
darn...
Well, this matter is officially dealt with...
So I'm doing this upgrade to a drupal site that I had no responsibility in creating.
Apparently three core modules have been tampered with. I see no reason why this had to happen!
So I have a question:
When doing a drupal upgrade, is part of upgrading checking through each module to see if someone had tampered with the core?

Nope-- hacking core modules is discouraged, completely unsupported, and will more than likely break your site until you migrate the hacks forward to the next version.
