The safecracker form related custom fields are being submitted, the problem is the select drop-down categories. After having chosen the category to associate the entry with, the respective category does not remain selected in the CP.
I'm using the User Guide Code
<select name="category[]" id="categories">
{categories}
<option value="{category_id}"{selected}>{category_name}</option>
{/categories}
</select>
I tested this and seems tot work correctly (EE 2.5.5). if you want to preserve already selected categories, you could make your select a multi-select.
<select name="category[]" id="categories" multiple="multiple">
...
</select>
