It's neither a bug, nor something we can fix
This thread gives the evolution of the understanding.

Basically Geocaches on the Colorado and Oregon are identified by the Groundspeak namespaces and GCA doesn't use them (Groundspeak have funny rules on their use).
The fourth post suggesting that GSAK may be a way to achieve this is probably the best we can do to get a cache listed as a Geocache on theose devices. Otherwise you'll have to stick with them being listed as waypoints.

Ah, that would explain why they don't show up, then. It's not a show stopper for me, seeing as I can still see the way points, only minor niggle is that they don't show up with the name or anything like that. Thanks for the reply.
