I can't reproduce it with today's 2019-02-06 build.
Please can you share a blend test?

Addendum. I think I found it, but not sure why it's here.

Yeah, these should be in Object Transforms.
Not sure where these Location, Rotation, LocRotScale groupings come from (yet)

Is this an older file opened in 2.8?
Please share your blendfile so we can have a look.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful or not, but here's the .blend file. When I create a new camera, the Z location shows up right below the X and Y where it normally does. So I must have done something to the first camera that changes the behavior.

On a related note, I imagine work is ongoing on the issue of the getting the correct object to be highlighted in the dope sheet when they are select. Allergen ELISA_jan 23_port.blend

In 2.79 the defualt name was Location for the group so this must be an old file.
In 2.8 the default names for the groups were changed to Object Transforms.

You can reproduce this in 2.8 from scratch by:

Load the default cube scene
Switch to the Animation workspace
Select any object and add a location keyframe to it
Rename the group to anything else than Object Transforms
Delete the Z location keyframe and re add it
Now the Z location entry is re added to a new Object Transforms group.

@brecht I don't really think this is a bug, but I want to have you chime in here first.

Also would not consider this a bug, it's confusing but difficult to fix well.
