it works as long as Taxonomy Access Control (TAC) Module is disabled

It looks like TAC module is not Forum-aware ... this is the test I have done:
1) start from scratch with a 5.2
2) create a couple of forums and users
3) admin/user/access   give authenticated users "create forum topics" permission
4) users are able to create topics in any forum
5) install and enable TAC (no settings changed)
6) BUG: users find an empty drop down list when they want to create new forum topics

It is quite a surprise to me, so I still think I am doing something wrong ...

7) adding in TAC
    Show-Allow Update-Allow Delete-Deny Create List
    permission to authenticated user for Forum-*default* and for all forums does
    not change the behaviour ...

Am I missing something? Is it really a TAC forum incompatibility?
Anybody else has come across before??

Thansk everybody for your help!
