Where are you seeing this?

It's probably an importer bug rather than an API one...

A quick look reveals that WikiImporter does not run a LinksUpdate.

Seemingly the same on trunk

Recategorising

Thanks for recategorizing ... my first bug report.

Actually, when the XML file contains several <page>s, the first <page> does show up in the appropriate category, the remaining ones don't.

This problem doesn't happen anymore for uploading via Special:Import. API file upload is a pain, so I can't be bothered to script that up just to test this bug, but I can see that WikiImporter does call into WikiPage::doEditUpdates. In this function, a LinksUpdate is one of the secondary data updates in this block:

			$updates = $content->getSecondaryDataUpdates(
				$this->getTitle(), null, $recursive, $editInfo->output );
			foreach ( $updates as $update ) {
				DeferredUpdates::addUpdate( $update );
			}

So I am reasonably confident that this will now work in all cases.
