i have a case where category legacy was installed only after a bunch of containers and categories were created.
Is a manual fix possibly for a broken setup?
What records on which tables should be moved around or recreated?

I find this post with the explanation of the cause:

Bad:
1. Create terms and vocabularies using taxonomy
2. Install category
3. Install taxonomy wrapper
4. Start creating categories and containers using category

Good:
1. Create terms and vocabularies using taxonomy
2. Install category
3. Install taxonomy wrapper
4. Install category_legacy
5. Import taxonomy data into category
6. Start creating categories and containers using category

Another trouble was that banner group 1 was unexpected in taxonomy terms.
I ended up with taxonomy terms 0 for "uncategorized", 1 for "banner group 1" and nothing else.
These 0 and 1 show up with views, any other number load the category name by node id but no node listing results.

I am hoping that editing the containers and categories would put them on the right table.
Where in mysql should i see if these categories exist or not?

Exposing views make category_views work for me, as shown in this post http://drupal.org/node/69861
Taxonomy term still shows uncategorized, last time i saw, but i got the work done using category ID.

category views is now being tracked in this thread:

It'd be still useful to know how to fix problems with the mirrored tables,
so if you know how to do this please reopen this issue.
