I had deleted all of the old versions of the About page and was still getting about-2 as the permalink name. It turns out my Home page had been given the slug "about" by default.  Changing that to "home" allowed my to save the correct the slug on the About page. I had this problem, too.

This is a pretty nifty thing to know...because you can avoid errors and keep posts/pages "off" your site.

I ran into another issue regarding trashed posts. I was querying using SQL for certain posts and I was getting trashed posts. The thing is that there's another value that the post_status attribute can have, 'trash'. By excluding it while doing your SQL queries you avoid outputting trashed posts. Interesting.
