Comment (by husobj):

 Replying to [comment:13 jessepollak]:
 > 1. I use `wp_terms_checklist()` which in turn relies on
 `Walker_Category_Checklist` which is relatively inflexible. Primarily, it
 can only output inputs of the form `name=post_category[]` or
 `tax_input[$taxonomy]`.

 This may relate to issue #28053 - The saving of media modal fields doesn't
 cater for multiple form fields of the same name named with empty square
 brackets such as `post_category[]`. You would expect these to get
 submitted and handled as an array but only the last field gets submitted.

 Would handling that issue perhaps help here?
