I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

Adding the following function resolved the issue, but is there another way not involving special functions? Thank you.

add_filter('wp_dropdown_users_args', 'assign_any_users_author_box_func', 10, 2);
function assign_any_users_author_box_func($query_args, $r){
$query_arg['who'] = 'any';
return $query_arg;
}

Hi Chuck

I tested the same, but couldn't reproduce the problem.

With Access enabled I added several additional roles to an author. I then edited a post and that user was available in the author dropdown.

I tried switching things around and making the primary role a minor role (subscriber) and other roles with publishing rights as secondary roles, and it still worked correctly.

Can you try reproducing on a skeletal site with just Toolset plugins active and a default theme?
