I found this behavior somewhat unexpected:

1. Create category “Foo” with setting “suppress this category from homepage”
2. Create topic “Bar” in category “Foo”
3. Top menu is set to `Latest | Categories | Unread`
4. Topic “bar” is not shown on `Latest`, but is shown on `Categories` (so far so good).
5. In user preferences, select “Categories” as the homepage
6. Now, for that user, topic “bar” is shown on `Latest` but the entire `Foo` category is hidden on their `Categories` page.

I think it may improve things if there were less magic in the category setting. Instead of “suppress this category from homepage”, there could be two settings:

- do not show topics from this category on Latest
- do not show this category on the Categories page
