Andy Beard adopted that plugin so maybe he’ll be updating it for 2.3

I have modified it myself :
[Moderated: Too much code. Please consider placing the code in a text file on your site with a link here -or- use a pastebin service such as http://wordpress.pastebin.ca. Thanks!]
I will be updating, and also having it listed in the SVN repo to make life easy for people
maybe a solution… tested it on my testblog, and I think it works ;o)
in custom-query-string.php (line 252) change:
… SELECT cat_ID FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE category_nicename = …
to:
… SELECT term_ID FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE slug = …
I have verified that the modifications work great.
in custom-query-string.php I changed the following text (just search in Vi for “cat_ID” and you’ll find it):
SELECT cat_ID FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE category_nicename =
to…
SELECT term_id FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE slug =
That has worked well on my blog and I have had no problems whatsoever.
