As far as I can tell they work just like they did on the S1. You can only use one category per Wishlist though. 'Mystery' and 'suspense' are different categories though, so no wonder it won't work.

Noticed that the wishlists seem to be broken. I have a film in to record next week with Whoopi Goldberg in but looking at the actor wishlists nothing comes up.

Same here I have William Shatner set up (looking out for his new sitcom).
I have found his sitcom using the search function but still nothing in the wishlist.

They are broken. If you create them from a search rather than from the wishlist screen. It seems to be that it puts the actors name as "firstname lastname" instead of "lastname, firstname" and this only works for some actors. I posted about this in the bugs sticky thread.
Creating a wishlist from the search doesn't always work properly.
e.g. search for Ronnie Barker then press More Info-->Create a wishlist search
It creates it with the Actors name "Ronnie Barker" as expected. When you look at upcoming programmes it doesn't show any even though he is currently in several.
If you manually create an actor wishlist for him it creates his name as "Barker, Ronnie" and it finds the upcoming shows.
The 1st search method does work for some actors though.

Yeah, I found it because the Tivo upstairs had found it.
Hoping the March software update fixes a few bugs and add's some new features
