I've tried, but it's not working either. I tried it this way:

* Teaching
#+CATEGORY: Teaching
** Sanskrit I (WS08)               :PROJECT:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: Sanskrit
   :END:
*** NEXT Find Books                :LIBRARY:

Todos are displayed correctly: 

,----
| Sanskrit: NEXT Find Books        :LIBRARY:
`----

But projects wrongly:

,----
| Sanskrit I:  Sanskrit I           :PROJECT:
`----

The same, when I change the #+CATEGORY: of the first level item into a
property of the same kind:

:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Teaching
:END:

Strange, isn't it? Is it working for you? Then, I'd have a wrong
customization maybe?
