Actually this is a mistake. It should always prefer explicit property
(#+CATEGORY) over implicit (#+TITLE). So the order should look like (if
the user modifies the variable, highest to lowest):

- #+CATEGORY (if present)
- #+TITLE (if present AND if user sets the variable)
- file name

Apologies for confusion.
