Create a categorization question in New Quizzes that includes distractors.
Turn on 'Indicate response as correct/incorrect' under Settings for the quiz.
Preview the quiz, and submit it without answering the categorization question.
Expected behavior:
Anything left in the distractor box on a given attempt should not be marked as correct/incorrect; only the items placed in a category should be marked as correct/incorrect.
Actual behavior:
All the answers left under distractors are marked as correct/incorrect as belonging in the distractor pool, which means that if the student hasn't answered the question, they can see which answers should be categorized on a future attempt, and which can be ignored.
Additional notes:
This is a problem when the quiz is set to allow multiple attempts, for the reason expressed above under 'actual behavior'. I presume it's a bug, rather than an idiotic feature.
