WebBlocker Warn failure when cats=""

Hello!

I had a client (EDIT: running a T35 on 12.5 U1) get resumes.indeed.com blocked by WebBlocker when she clicked to view a person's resume. She got the standard Deny message, but it should have been a Warn message in my opinion, because it was due to what appears to be an unrecognized category:

Reason: Category '' denied by WebBlocker policy 'WebBlocker.Mgmt'

FSM traffic monitor shows in part:

ProxyDeny: HTTP Request categories (HTTPS-proxy-Mgmt.Out-00) HTTP-Client.Mgmt-DPI proc_id="http-proxy" rc="595" msg_id="1AFF-0021" proxy_act="HTTP-Client.Mgmt-DPI" cats="" op="GET" dstname="resumes.indeed.com"

Notice cats="" in the line above. Does that mean that the URL is uncategorized? If so, I have "URL unrecognized" set to Warn, but she got a Deny.

Another one is:
ProxyDeny: HTTP Request categories (HTTPS-proxy-Mgmt.Out-00) HTTP-Client.Mgmt-DPI proc_id="http-proxy" rc="595" msg_id="1AFF-0021" proxy_act="HTTP-Client.Mgmt-DPI" cats="" op="GET" dstname="8232301.fls.doubleclick.net"

There are multiple domains where I see cats="" in the line.

Is cats="" indicating unknown, uncategorized, or ???

Does anyone know what the reason is that I don't get the expected Warn message?

EDIT: Egad! There are dozens of lines with cats="" in them in the FSM traffic monitor.

Here are a few:
