Total shot in the dark, but could it be a module weight problem between views and something like pathauto or core taxonomy? I.E. views is loading too early?

I'm trying to create a custom taxonomy listing page using Views and pathauto, and I'm running into something wierd that I can't figure out. Here's the steps I took:
- Set URL alias pattern of so that for taxonomy terms, it generates an alias of category/termname (i.e. in my case category/news, category/reviews, etc.)
- Create a taxonomy view with a block display listing the Taxonomy:Term field as a link to its taxonomy term page
- Created a new display in the default taxonomy_term view with a path of category/%.
So my block works fine, where each link is mysite.com/category/termname. However, when I go to that link, all I get is a blank page. I have empty text in the view, but that' isn't displayed. It works fine in the views preview, so I know the view is set up properly.
Now, if I change the path for the view slightly - to something like categories/termname - the page works fine, but that means I have to go back and regenerate all my aliases again, which I'd rather not do if I don't have to. It seems like I'm conflicting with something, but I can't figure out where. It's certainly not in the taxonomy_term view or any other view I can see.
Any suggestions as to what I could be conflicting with or other things to check?
Thanks.
