But Steve..
What if I named my categories, "Our Products" and you simply don't have ANY idea if a link is a product or a category? You can't be surprised if you click on a flyout for something that interests you, and it's exactly what it says. And that's what you were expecting.
Take off the developer hat -- you have NO IDEA and no expectation that the first line of browsing is going to be categories or products or sub-cats or a link to somewhere else.
Walmart.com does this.
So do other billion $ brands.
I think it's good merchandising. Help the customer find what they want - not preserve order of the category hierarchy.
My $.02 too.
