You are welcome,
The way I understand:
The place where a user clicks to select a category IS the taxonomy box for the category taxonomy. category is a native taxonomy as opposed to a custom taxonomy.
If you do create a custom taxonomy and properly attach it to ‘post’, your custom taxonomy box will appear adjacent to the category native taxonomy box.
The problem is that the custom taxonomy is not attached to a post type, but to certain categories.
So I have to wait until a post is saved (or I click on the selected category) to have the custom tax box displayed.
Which works fine with jquery, the only problem being that if I want to edit the post, the boxes are not displayed by default, and I have to unclick/click again on the category to have them displayed…
custom taxonomy is not attached to a post type, but to certain categories.
I didn’t know that could be done. Thanks for teaching me something.

Have you tried adding an action to action-hook? :
post_submitbox_misc_actions
Runs when an editing page gets generated to add some content (eg. fields) to the submit box (where the publish button is shown). No function arguments.
