Yup. Any volunteers? My understanding is that right now, the backend supports category searches as long as the categories are spelled out literally in the wikitext (not via template).
Presumably it would not be too hard to append the full category list to the blob that gets sent to the search engine, (perhaps as part of fixing: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18861 -nudge-nudge)
Whether this is a big restriction or not depends a lot on your wiki, I estimate that 90% or more of categories on en.wiktionary are added by templates (but then so's most of our output anyway).
