@hackwar is there any chance that this is an issue related to any of the recent router class improvements? Quickly checking the history of this file for the last couple of years, I don't see where this was changed. Likely, it was part of a bigger commit that isn't apparent.

Nope, this is not related to the router changes. The router changes did not touch any of this. If the category ID was missing, this is with 99.9% certainty an issue in earlier versions, too.
