The category link markup didn't change for a very long time (since 2005 at  
least) however some of the MakeLink/LinkPage functions did change a bit, and  
I suppose it doesn't work exactly as it did before.

Add the following line to config.php and it should make those links  
disappear from the page, while still indexing the backlinks in the  
categories:

  Markup('[[!(','<[[!','/\\[\\[!\\((.*?)\\)\\]\\]/e',  
    "MakeLink(\$pagename,PSS('Category/$1'),NULL,'','<span></span>')");
