I should mention that this would also address inconsistencies like the fact
that the Elder Scrolls games get labeled as RPGs, while Fallout: New Vegas gets
labeled as Action.

This is interesting. I'm not entirely sure it'll actually result in
significantly better categorizations in the end, but it's worth a try and
adding an extra option can't hurt.
There is already some ordering going on with the categories on the store page
(a game could be "Action, Adventure" just as easily as "Adventure, Action") and
for the MOST part it seems like the first one is arguable the most reasonable,
but it's always the unreasonable ones (Super Meat Boy is casual!?) that stand
out.
In light of this, I think the best way to do this might be to allow a user to
assign different priorities to different categories, rather than a straight A >
B > C ordering. This way, you can still achieve strict ordering if you want it,
but you can also do something simpler by giving, for example, the Indie
category the lowest priority and otherwise just relying on whatever Steam's
first category is.

Sounds like your proposed approach will provide the user with even more
effective behavior options, so I'm all for it.
