I'll answer this with 90% confidence.
You remember correctly, but that was from a time when multiple libraries were not officially supported. When Kovid made them official, he fixed this.
Of course, the ten percent of the time I'm wrong seems to happen 90% of the time
If it helps any, I've done lots of tests with libraries having different custom columns. I needed Charles' help to handle custom columns in the Merge code, and I tested with several small libraries that had custom columns not found in my main library. I've never had a problem.
