I would suggest a bit of restructuring the logic. The key definition
is different, and other logic too. Below is the pseudo code for this
(not tested ...).

<xsl:key name="cat_name" match="category" use="." />

<xsl:for-each select="//category[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('cat_name',.)[1])]">
  <xsl:value-of select="." /><br/>
  <xsl:for-each select="key('cat_name',.)">
    <xsl:value-of select="../title" /><br/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
