[wp-testers] 2 "Categories" check boxes listed in "Screen options" on the "Menus" page.

[Kirk M]

It turned out that the "Simple Tags" plugin was causing the problem. I 
had been doing some plugin compatibility testing and when I (thought I 
had) deactivated all the plugins, Simple Tags was left active which 
caused the problem. When I deactivated "Simple Tags" the extra 
"Categories" check box was gone from the "Menus" "Screen options".

Oops :-)
