Business Rule - Development vs Live Environments

Hi All, 
 
I have a weird issue I am trying to debug surrounding business rules. 
 
I will first stipulate that this business rule works perfectly fine in Development, but for some reason it doesn't work 100% in my other environments (Test, Prod). 
 
For clarity, the purpose of the BR is to hide/unhide a specific field 'Sub Category'. 
 
Its a very specific issue. Here are my business rule conditions:
 
(Category Equals [Events]) OR (Category Equals [Permissions]) OR (Category Equals [Registry]) OR (Category Equals [User Files]) OR (Category Equals [Device Data]) OR (Category Equals [Windows Config])
 
 
What I am finding is, this doesn't seem to evaluate OR (Category Equals [Windows Config])

I.e On my form for the table, the 'Sub-Category' field appears correctly when the 'Category' is set to any of the other values apart from 'Windows Config'. 
 
I can confirm that the string exactly matches what is it expecting. 

Here's the thing though, if I swap the order of my BR conditions to this:
 
(Category Equals [Windows Config]) OR (Category Equals [Permissions]) OR (Category Equals [Registry]) OR (Category Equals [User Files]) OR (Category Equals [Device Data]) OR (Category Equals [Events])
 
 
Everything evaluates apart from OR (Category Equals [Events]), in this one, even 'Windows Config' is working, which is what triggered the investigation into the cause. 

My question is, it seems like my BR is simply not evaluating the last condition, no matter what it is. 
 
Anyone experienced this before or have come across something similar?

Thanks, 
 
Ryan
