Steps to reproduce the issue

Create two menus. I have 'mainmenu' and 'editor menu' with an item called "MoveMe".
Add a new menu item of type 'Menu heading', e.g. title "Restricted" in mainmenu and give it Access level 'Registered'
Open item "MoveMe" in the other menu and change its menu assignment to 'mainmenu' and then try to make the Parent item "Restricted".

Expected result

To be able to assign the item "MoveMe" to parent item "Restricted"

Actual result

The menu item heading "Restricted" is not yet visible.
What you have to do is assign the menu item "MoveMe" either as a top level item or as a child of one of the visible 'Public' items, save the item and then, if you select 'Parent Item' you will see that "Restricted" is now visible and it is possible to reassign "MoveMe" as a child of "Restricted".

System information (as much as possible)

J4.0.4

What you have to do is

Almost but not quite.

Option 1

You need to change the menu and save. Then you will see the available parents for that menu.

Option 2

Use the actions->batch button and you can do it all in one step

@brianteeman
Thanks for the batch tip. I'll remember that for the future.

For some reason, the registered menu items are now showing up alongside the public items when I try to move items, so I have no idea why it wasn't doing so before.

I'll close this now.
