I tested "other" on a plane earlier today - it seems to work but it has no checkbox in the list on either backup or restore. It seems to be included if any other category is included. So someone who thinks they are only restoring their application list, for example, would find out they have overwritten their GPE Calendar data from the backup! Of course a similar problem occurs with the built in Calendar app: its data is included in the Communications category, which seems to have plenty of potential for confusion. The current backup/restore app should come with a public health warning: only ever select all categories, for backup or restore, or else unpredictable things will happen!
