In the "Node authoring form" section of the Organic Groups 
configuration, there is an "Audience checkboxes" option that might take 
care of your concern:
"Show each subscribed group as a checkbox in the Audience section. This 
enables user to place her post into multiple groups. If unchecked, 
simplify the user interface by omitting the checkboxes and assuming user 
wants to post into the current group. Group administrators always see 
checkboxes."
