After updating to latest yesterday my users cannot create topics anymore. They get the following error: `An error occurred: You supplied invalid parameters to the request: Category not allowed for topic creation.` Nothing has changed, they have permissions to the category. I am able to repro this in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) as well.

I see the following in the console:

Nothing relevant in the logs. Any ideas?
