I just applied the latest updates for turbotax and it looks like the bug has been fixed and the categories are now being parsed correctly. Finally!
There is, however another bug. I get a semi-blank 1099 in addition to the correct one, that is full of missing data (the check before filing says I had over 3300 errors in it that needed attention, and bogged down the application for a couple minutes!). As this is a bogus entry, I just deleted it and things seem better now.
