Public bug reported:

Bug found in 1.6

Where there are multiple institutions and membership of multiple
institutions are permitted the bulk move of users from one institution
to another is broken.

The bulk move refuses to consider users who are in more than one
institution. See code in htdocs/admin/users/bulk.php for the function
changeauth_validate(). The validation simply fails if there is more than
one institution record for the user.

So, if I select all users in an institution and them attempt to move
them to a different institution and there are ANY users in multiple
institutions in the list the move will fail for all users.

Worse - I can't think of any obvious workaround.

What I want is for *just* the institution that I selected to be moved to
the alternate institution. There would also need to be a check that this
didn't result in a duplicate if they were in that institution already.
