Basically the category will only change the next time
the page has a
linksupdate. This can happen in the following ways:
*Someone edits a page
*Someone does a null edit (not a purge) of the page. [aka Open page,
change nothing, hit save]
*Someone edits a template used on the page.
In particular, doing ?action=purge does *not* update the categories
that are used on a page.
Requesting api.php?action=purge&titles=page_name&forcelinkupdate
updates categories.

is a bug for
making the category change happen quickly. Its on my list of bugs that
I think would be nice if they were fixed.
Cheers,
