This issue is more general than just categories. It also makes it impossible to find all the templates that transclude a particular template as is discussed here. This is an issue that can potentially affect all XfD venues since it apples to every link that is between includeonly tags. An example of this is Template:Deleted template, currently at TfD, where WLH missed two of its uses that were between includeonly.
