Comment:

 That was from 3.1-alpha.

 Testing now on the 3.0 branch. I set a post to a second user. Box only
 showed up after I added a second user on 3.0.x, but the second user also
 had to be at least a contributor. If the second user is a post author but
 doesn't have permissions to be assigned a post author (i.e. subscriber),
 now I can reproduce. That seems like an edge case but a valid bug.

 In 3.1, the box shows up not only when the second user is a subscriber,
 but even when there is only one user.

 How it should work:
  - The box should only show if there is more than one contributor on the
 blog.
  - Only contributors and above should appear in the box.
  - If a subscriber is a post author, then the box should so, and the
 subscriber should be listed and selected.
