Basically the category will only change the next time the page has a linksupdate. This can happen in the following ways: *Someone edits a page *Someone does a null edit (not a purge) of the page. [aka Open page, change nothing, hit save] *Someone edits a template used on the page.
In particular, doing ?action=purge does *not* update the categories that are used on a page.
Requesting api.php?action=purge&titles=page_name&forcelinkupdate updates categories.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28876 is a bug for making the category change happen quickly. Its on my list of bugs that I think would be nice if they were fixed.
