damino — I have exactly the same issue. I was short on time to find the real answer, so here’s my temporary ugly hack:
Call wp_list_cats (or wp_list_categories) with the children=1 argument. Subcategories will be in the “children” class. I just added:
.children { display: none; }
to my CSS file. This works while I figure out how to address the issue.
With that out of the way, how do I *really* fix this? Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks!

Thanks for this hack.
We’re working to find the “normal” way to resolve this on WordPress-net.fr
I’will come here again if we find an issue.
Great — if you find the answer, definitely post it here.
I could fix it by modifying the core files, but it’s best not to touch those for the sake of future upgrades.

What happens if you put “children=0”?
We’re not alone, you’re right. Maybe I’ll have to write a plugin to remove everything in the “children” class of the wp_list_categories output until this gets fixed in the core files (assuming it will be fixed).
I wonder why it was removed?
Thanks for finding a solution to this prob. It’s been driving me nuts!

I just used alfaspider’s hack and so far it’s been working just fine.

There is no better solution for the time being. Stay tuned for future enhancements.

i think i got something to work
download and install this plugin
http://braydon.com/unfold_list_categories.zip
to only show 1 level of categories use this:
<?php unfold_list_categories(‘depth=1&hierarchical=1’); ?>
in place of this:
<?php wp_list_categories(); ?>
let me know if it works for you… it worked for me but it was sort of by accident i think
