Speaking from my experiences on ENWIKI, there is a general feature/bug/behavior
that template-inserted categories don't update until there's a null edit or
better, as a rule. This impression seems confirmed to me by my reading of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NULLEDIT#Null_edit

I have been told by a knowledgable user (as I've been pursuing a BRFA for a bot
to deal with the trouble this is causing a single particular maintenance
category at ENWIKI) that this relates to purge, etc., not updating the
"categorylinks table."  

I'd be interested in knowing if that is in fact the case, if so if this is a
problem that can/will be fixed, or if instead the performance implications of
fixing it would be prohibitive.  I can suggest/create workarounds at varying
degrees of cost, but first, if this is just a general bug that's easily fixed,
that'd be useful data.  Thanks.
