Works for me and those using BlogDesk which posts using the xmlrpc. IIRC, that uses the meta API. I have no issue with pulling individual blog's listings of categories and whatnot.

What program are you using?

This sounds to me like a question you might choose to send to staff for an answer by using a feedback.

Hi,

WordPress.com supports multiple blogs per account. However this is not fully implemented in the xml-rpc end. For example, if you have two blogs, blogA.wordpress.com and blogB.wordpress.com, then

1) The xml-rpc call to list blogs (eg: blogger.getUsersBlogs) correctly returns the two blogs (along with the blog ids).

2) List of posts and blog categories (either blogger, metaweblog or mt api) does not work for multiple blogs - it always returns the data for the first blog, even if you provide the id of the second (or Nth) blog when making the API call.

For example:
metaWeblog.getCategories(blogId_A, username, password)
and
metaWeblog.getCategories(blogId_B, username, password)

returns the same data i.e. categories for blogId_A. The same applies to getRecentPosts.
