show posts found in multiple categories via category_name query string?

It might be not your case but if behind the scene permalink settings have been switched from default one, then the request:

?category_name=slug1+slug2

is rewritten to

/category/slug1/ or /category/slug2/

so only the posts from one category are shown.
