I'm seeing this in Windows with Squeak3.0 of 4 Feb 2001, latest update #3522

evaluate "Smalltalk lastUpdateString", for example - or in the brown tab "Squeak" flap on the left of the default image, click on "about this system"

if I select something in the second pane at this point, the following doesn't crash

Hm, I dug a bit deeper, and found this change works for me:
In Browser>>addSystemCategory
...
	self systemCategoryListIndex:
		(oldIndex = 0
			ifTrue: [self systemCategoryList size] "this was 'ifTrue: [ systemOrganizer categories size ]'"
			ifFalse: [oldIndex]).
...

"systemOrganizer categories" gives all "traditional" categories (e.g. "System-Support", ...), while "self systemCategoryList" is overridden in the package browser to only return the (i.e. "Support" in package "); so basically the problem was that it tried to select the last "traditional" category in a (shorter) list of only sub-categories.

But I really don't know the Browser machinery, so someone who is in the know should probably have a look at it (or, as Andreas can't reproduce it, someone has probably already fixed it)
