The problem only arises if there is a matching detail name. If you have a section with a detail name of "financial-press" then
the line
<%= OpenCms.getLinkManager().getRootPath(cms, "/.categories/news/category/financial-press/") %>
would return
"/sites/default/.categories/section/financial-press/"
Which means that you ask for the root path of particular resource and a totally different resource is returned

I don't call it explicitly but CmsCategoryWidget uses it implicitly. The calls are in org.opencms.xml.types.CmsXmlCategoryValue / org.opencms.xml.types.CmsXmlVfsFileValue.
