Arising in testing, I found that the select box that shows on the content management screen (after selecting 'assign to a taxonomy term' from the 'update options' selector) was filtering out vocabularies that use freetagging.
Looks like an API thing inside taxonomy.module.
Luckilly there's a flag for it. Drop-down now lists ALL available terms. As before, this makes it possible to tag node types with inappropriate vocab terms ... with great power comes the ability to stuff things up.

Patch attached. 1 line.

I can confirm that this patch is not in 6.x and also not in git. I have re-created the patch via git
