When you save the ChangeSet the whole class organization is written to the ChangeSet file instead of just the changed method categorization. This has the effect that if you install two ChangeSets with independent method categorizations of the same class the second one will overwrite the first one.

Can you open an issue on GitHub so we don't forget?
