Attached patch for 1.9. It takes into account $CFG->allowvisiblecoursesinhiddencategories setting.
Still not sure, what for this file is. And its functionality (desired) in case of Guests access. If it is meant to not show course info for guest for courses not allowing guest's access, it is not working too. Is that a bug? Feature?

Hi, just a note to say the allowvisiblecourseinhiddencategories logic was wrong.

course_parent_visible() always returns true if $CFG->allowvisiblecoursesinhiddencategories
is true. Which meant you were hiding visible course info from people without moodle/course:viewhiddencourses always - see MDL-13117
