You are 100% right, both ERP5Type.getInstanceBaseCategoryList and  
TranslationProviderBase.createInitialPropertyTranslationDomainDict suffer 
from this problem.
Afterall, the best way to know the properties / categories of objects created 
by a given ERP5TypeInformation is to probably to call its factory method and 
introspect the returned object, like does ERP5Type.getInstancePropertyMap.
