I think I have found a way to reproduce this issue consistently here:

(1) Clean out bibletime and SWORD configurations, so we start fresh:

    rm -rf ~/.sword ~/.bibletime

(2) Run bibletime (I'm using 2.3.beta1 under Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty amd64)

    bibletime &

(3) Open the BT Bookshelf Manager (Press F4)

(4) Set the install path to /home/USERNAME/.sword

(5) Click Refresh so we get a list of CrossWire modules

(6) Click on the little black triangles to expand Bibles and then
English.  Select two bibles, KJV and NETfree.

(7) Scroll down and click on the little black triangles to expand Books
and then English.  Select two books, Pilgrim and Practice.

(8) Click on Install... and then on Install to install these 4 modules.

(9) Click Close to close the Bookshelf Manager window.

(10) In the Bookshelf subwindow, right-click on Bibles and hover over
Grouping until the list of groupings appears.  Click on Language/Category.

(11) Click on English to expand this language.

(12) Click on the little black triangles next to Bibles and Books.

At this point, I consistently see the "Bibles" list containing KJV,
NETfree and Pilgrim, and the "Books" list containing only Practice.

This is clearly incorrect.  Screenshot attached.  I'm hoping that if you
can reproduce it, you can probably also fix it :)  If the above steps do
not reproduce this in your own environment, are there further debugging
steps I could/should try out here that would be useful?
