By need-to-know, I mean different details are relevant to different people.

If by "need-to-know," you mean, "This level of detail is irrelevant to
the boss's work," the boss should politely excuse herself if the meeting
isn't productive or interesting for her.
If by "need-to-know," you mean, "We don't want the boss to know about
this," then I wouldn't want to work at that company.

That would tend to discomfort many people, as you would now be dealing
with different need-to-know levels.

... Were you scheduled to give an informal presentation to your work
group, only to have your manager's boss drop in?...
