"Categorymembers namespace filtering is inefficient, uses ugly hack in miser mode", https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19640 , is also very related.
I personally don't think it's worth fixing. The likelihood of error in keeping the categorylinks table up-to-date with page moves is just too great to be worth bothering over.
We could at least partially fix it by allowing to filter by type (file|category|page) instead of namespace, and provide a mapping from clnamespace to cltype for backwards compatibility (6 -> file, 14 -> category, any other number -> page).
