There is a piece of information on the download page: "The aim of this class hierarchy is to be close to the Wikipedia category system, but without some of its obstacles, e.g. cycles of categories, administrative categories, categories which represent instances instead of classes etc. However, the current extraction script contains some bugs and data cleansing still insufficient to be useful in applications. For this reason, the data set is not published in the SPARQL endpoint." Currently, no one is working on improving this data set, because we are busy with other activities. So I cannot make any estimate whether and when there will be a new version. As always, the code is publicly available in the DBpedia SVN. If you are interested in improving it, I can give you advice on what needs to be done.
