Issue Summary
All terms are by definition in the same vocabulary as their parents. this drop-down has no purpose. :(
Comments
#1
patched.
#2
Same issue for D7 :/
Previous patch seemed to be only half? Trying again. First patch is for D6. second one for D7.
#3
Cleanup error in D7 patch, and leave access names alone... for now.

Prior to Drupal 7, it was actually possible to manipulate the database and have terms in multiple vocabularies by using the ability to have multiple parentage. While you could not do this in the UI, it was completely supported under the hood, and that's exactly why this exists.
Now, I don't know, that may have been removed in the Drupal 7 revamp. If so, then it's worth removing for D7, but I think we have to leave it for D6.
The only person I know offhand who has ever actually used this functionality is killes. :P

Marking 'needs work' until this is answered.

I'm not sure confusing 100% of your users (less rounding error) by adding something in the ctools UI is a good trade off for supporting something that 1) only Killes has ever used and 2) is not supported in the taxonomy UI.
I'd be willing to give on the D6 version since there aren't many people using that and Killes makes up a larger percentage of the population, but can we please assist all these D7 people who want to fall in love with Panels? :)
