To me, that looks like a fix for [Carelessly splitting a solved post to a new topic breaks things](https://meta.discourse.org/t/carelessly-splitting-a-solved-post-to-a-new-topic-breaks-things/393989)

It doesn’t seem to fix the problem described in the OP which talks about a whole topic being moved to another category where solutions aren’t enabled, not about moving a few posts to another topic. When I move [`personal_messages:username` search filter doesn't work](https://meta.discourse.org/t/personal-messages-username-search-filter-doesnt-work/371848), which is a solved topic, to #Contribute > Feature where solutions are not allowed, the solution isn’t removed, and there is no warning.
