My other submission failed, so I'll try again.
I'd like for parent categories to automatically be selected when a child category is selected. They can of course be removed later by the user, but I think that for the most part, users will want parent categories to be selected when child categories are.

If you mean that the parent category for an active child category should get a class like current_cat_ancestor, I fully agree. This is missing functionality which definitely should be there. Currently it can only be accomplished by a plugin ('fold categories') or by some quite simple hacks to core files. This would be no more than a logical extension of the current funtionality which provides the active page with the class current_page_item, and as such should definitely be fixed in the core.
(Incidentally, the same holds for pages: parent pages of active child pages should get a class like current_page_ancestor.)

Hmm, on reading again, I think I misunderstood you. Sorry!

I am running 2.51 at have the same problem...
1) If you choose a sub category and save...
2) There will be no count for a post on the main Category widget!
3) You have to select the Main category your self....
Should be logical that it choose the Upper category automatically
