Comment (by WHSajid):

 Looks like there's no solution to this yet. In the meantime, can I request
 a filter inside the bulk_edit_posts function? Possibly around the part
 where the new categories are being merged with the old ones? (Line 566-570
 in includes/post.php) So that a simpler plugin can be developed (without
 creating an entire bulk edit plugin) to allow users to completely override
 existing categories. I know it's an ugly bandaid on a serious wound, but I
 think it can be a temporary relief.
