There are installed files: fedora-popular.xml fedora-categories.xml into /usr/share/app-info/xmls/ and they currently contain <component type="desktop"> components, but it's wrong, it should rather read: <component merge="append"> . The difference is that the former pretends to be an application definition, while the later says to merge the added properties into the applications, if they exist. This misinterpretation influences counts of the apps in the categories in the gnome-software.
