How are you switching companies? The user preferences panel has a
special system to display the list of user.company_ids, regardless of
the security rules, for this very purpose.
I just checked on a 6.0 system (latest server and addons versions) and I
can switch between companies with any user (who belongs to multi
companies group), even if I set the res.company rule to something that
does not match any company. And this works also if the companies I
belong to are not related (no ancestor/descendant relationship between
them).

Technically, this works because res.company has an overridden _search()
method that checks the context for a special key, and that special key
is passed by the res_users.company_id field, so it is used when loading
the selectable companies in the user preferences.

If this doesn't work for you, can you investigate and perhaps report a
bug if you find that it is reproducible with official addons?
