They do seem to be there, I can search for them (the old categories
that is). But am yet to find a few to recreate them.

Like this: let's say I had a Category/System tag called "Food". If I
know use the search field in Contacts for "Food" they contacts will
show up. But in any individual contact I can not see the "food"
category and if I recreate it the old tags disappear....
