My 3.0.0-beta1 places the ZC product ID in the URL, e.g.
/Clutch-Head-Screwdrivers-p-17688 ... this prevents identically named products from generating identical URLs.
As for single-product categories, Steve, I have no problems there either.
Are you sure your server meets all of the prerequisites for Chemo's? What do your configuration settings look like? Assuming the server requirements are met and configuration settings are right, submit a report on the bug tracker (if you haven't already). That Josh is one fast debugger.
