It’s hard to say in words what’s wrong, so here’s a video. This is obviously with “show subcategory list” enabled.
The moment to pay attention to is when I have a category selected, and I re-select that same identical category from the drop-down. You’d expect…

However I could not reproduce yours @strager – is it still happening on the latest build? Do you have steps to reproduce?
Still occurring on the latest version, but not with every board. Simply go to page (example IP/c/announcements-discussions/announcements) and click on the board again. If you send me a PM, I can give you the IP if you want to take a look.
Do you have topic list display customizations?
Thanks for giving me access to your server. I did find a bug with refreshing a category which I fixed in this commit:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9c977a08cdc0149f970981bad15647b9675902d6
I think that will fix this for you!
Excellent and thank you
