Originated in the Genuine Feedback forum - Carey has attempted to move it to the Win7 Performance forum, and the thread does redirect there, according to the page, but the URL still shows as being Genuine Feedback, and it's still listed in the forum's threads.

I don't think this is a bug, the forum threads are resolved from their GUID at the end of the url,
In this case 06c8934f-fac7-498c-a86f-1b57a2bf57f9
You could go into the thread by changing genuine feedback to any forum's url and it'll still resolve to the same thread.

if you look at the 2nd url I changed the url, the link will still resolve to the same thread.
P.S. It is still showing up in the correct forum right?

Looks like this has reoccurred. As Naomi mentioned in this thread , thread disappears from the source forum after an hour or so however, URL still contains reference to source forum.

The bur is not so much the URL, as the fact that the thread was still showing in the WGA lists - Carey 'moved' it twice, before it apparently removed it from the Feedback forum lists.

I didnt face any issues while moving a thread from one forum to another, thread movement is quick enough as usual ( at least in my case ).
This issues is also sporadic in nature. I moved couple of threads from Server General forum to two different forums, one thread got moved cleanly, i.e. from source forum immediately (as usual) however second thread still reflects in both source and destination forums.
Clean move: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/a500c0c8-8b20-42b9-8429-5ab43418a0d2
Reflects in two forums at present :
