It is in the list because it is a special property.  So for example
	
     (org-entry-get nil "CATEGORY")

will get you a value for the category even it it is not defined as a  
property of the current entry.  It will use inheritance and also # 
+CATEGORY lines.

But you are right that it *is* allowed in drawers - I have updated the  
manual accordingly.
