See Inbox tools-cao.389.mcz for a possible quick fix.

Poking around I found that the PackagePaneBrowser was using only the category name
unqualified by the package name, e.g. bar rather than foo-bar.  The fix overrides in
PackagePandBrowser the category selecting method in Browser, and does what I believe
to be the appropriate concatenation.  I don't know if this is a tasteful way to
solve this, but it works for me.
