Is there a way for a book page to automatically inherit the taxonomy settings of the parent node when it is created from the add child menu, or during submission?

Not within the existing core book or taxonomy modules

However, this probably wouldn't be hard to do with a little custom code (a small module implementing hook_nodeapi).

If I understand correctly, you want all pages of a book to be assigned a category (the same one, since all children will inherit their parent's category)

There could be a workaround... Because not only book pages but any content type can be placed in a book outline, you could use different content types (created with CCK) instead of different books. Nodes of each content type attached to a book outline would be a kind of book. So, you could use the taxonomy_defaults module which automatically attaches a predefined category to the nodes of a content type during submission.
