I think the description makes no sense as is. By design the SingleBranchMode is
made to hide all things related to branches if you only have 1 branch. 

Because it makes no sense to have a branch facet, a pickup library or search
for branches when there is only 1 branch. And the same applies to the staff
interface. If there is only 1 branch, hiding the options is supposed to make it
less confusing. So I think correcting the system preference description is the
fix here, but there might be some additional functionality that is desirable.

For example:
- Make it possible to specify which branches are visible in the OPAC (so you
could have an ILL library, internal departments as branches and such)
- Make it possible to specify which libraries can be pickup locations
- Make it a permission, if a staff user can change the library from his home
library to another
