This afternoon, I had some time to trace where the problem originated. It 
seems that on some systems (mine ;) the test for isinstance(category, str)
doesn't work, as the type of category is actually 'unicode'. (This is
on Slackware 14.1 + some mods from -current).

I changed to isinstance(category, basestring), which captures both str
and unicode.

(This is around line 130 in BlockTreeWindow.py)

I've submitted a bug report for this - which was accepted.
