I noted at the end of my previous post how not everything was working correctly with my shiny new Subtext installation.

Well, it took a bit of fiddling (pun intended, I used the most excellent Fiddler) with the HTTP traffic to discover that Subtext, just like some other blog engines, did not fully implement MetaWeblog API. What’s funny is that BlogJet’s author is aware of this anomaly and already has a workaround in place, just not for Subtext

But the cool thing is that Phil Haack (the one who started the Subtext development) and Dmitry Chestnykh (BlogJet author) were very responsive and both were willing to do what’s necessary to resolve this. Great support guys!

In the end, Phil filed this as a bug in Subtext, the fix for which should make it into the next Subtext release. In the meantime, only the posts already posted and later fetched, edited and posted back would lose categories, the new posts work just fine, so this is not a critical issue.
