Eric,
If we assume that "company.tld" and "subsidiary.tld" are available and that
the Registry is authoritative for ".tld"...
1. Company registers "company.tld" through Registrar X: This works.
2. Subsidiary registers "subsidiary.tld" through Registrar Y: This works.
3. Registrar Y can register "product.tld" for either company or subsidiary
if it's available. This works.
4. Registrar Y can register "ns1.subsidiary.tld". This works.
5. Why should registrar Y be able to register a name server
(ns1.subsidiary.company.tld) in a domain (company.tld) sponsored by
Registrar X? Registrar X can register "ns1.subsidiary.company.tld" because
it sponsors the registration of "company.tld". Subsidiary can (and I
believe should) register the name server through Registrar X.
This seems a lot less uglier to me than allowing multiple registrars to
manage the name servers in an SLD like "company.tld".

But on the other hand, this is quite ugly too:
Registrar X Registrar Y
|- company.tld |- subsidiary.tld
The mothercompany registers with Registrar X.
The subsidiary registers with Registrar Y.
Registrar Y is to register (product.tld, ns1.subsidiary.company.tld,
ns1.subsidiary.tld)
This fails, even if product.tld is available.
The point is, if a domain name is available, any registrar should be able to
register it.
