This behaviour was long deprecated. Starting from Org 5.14 (released in
2008), the manual stated

  @cindex #+CATEGORY
  The category is a broad label assigned to each agenda item.  By default,
  the category is simply derived from the file name, but you can also
  specify it with a special line in the buffer, like this@footnote{For
  backward compatibility, the following also works: if there are several
  such lines in a file, each specifies the category for the text below it.
  The first category also applies to any text before the first CATEGORY
  line.  However, using this method is @emph{strongly} deprecated as it is
  incompatible with the outline structure of the document.  The correct
  method for setting multiple categories in a buffer is using a
  property.}:

I only removed the backward compatibility recently. I dropped a note in
ORG-NEWS.

Yes, it is.

This should be

* Line1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: one
  :END:
** TODO very important

* Line2
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: two
  :END:
** TODO more stuff
