It's hard to say for sure without seeing the construction of the
CategoryList structure. My guess would be that my_messages is matching
all messages or a bigger subset than you are expecting, which is
leading to results that look like corruption in the my_messages
variable.
Try to figure out if my_messages truly contains the messages you
expect it to contain.

Cricket,
The catgegorylist is a list of lists;
property CategoryList : { { "user1" , "mbox1" } , {"user2" , "mbox2"}
... }
I'm pretty sure the my_messages list is correct, because if I *don't*
actually move the messages, the display dialog shows exactly the
expected results. If I uncomment the set mailbox of my_message
statement, then the first entry moves okay but subsequent entries show
unexpected results in the dialog.
I've encountered the same behavior when I create a list of messages
older than a certain date. The script ran, but many inappropriate
records were moved and many appropriate records were left behind,
before it finally died with an "internal error":
-- age in days.
property ArchiveAge : 14
property ArchiveBox : "Archive"
tell application "Mail"
set today to current date
set archive_date to today - ArchiveAge * days
set my_archive to mailbox ArchiveBox
repeat with my_account in (imap accounts & pop accounts)
set my_inbox to mailbox "INBOX" of my_account
set message_list to (every message in my_inbox whose date sent is
less than archive_date) as list
display dialog "Archiving " & ((count of the message_list) as string)
& " messages from " & ,
((name of my_account) as string)
repeat with my_message in message_list
set mailbox of my_message to my_archive
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
