On my screen the pagelist lists the page (correct). I tested it many times 
there and in the sandbox, and with two pagelists in the same page like
  (:pagelist link=Category.Blem:)
  and
  (:pagelist link=Category.Blem3:)

And every time it displays the page in the correct pagelist, after one (1) 
save.

Could you be accessing pmwiki.org via a very aggressive caching proxy? 
Otherwise, either I access it via a mind-reading future-predicting browser, or 
I see things. It is a mistery. :-)

P.S. Look at this page and at its history:
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/PTVandCategoryLocked

I only edited the page once, and the correct pagelist displays the page.
