This patch will allow you to select a specific patron profile from the dropdown to include only search results for patrons who match that permission profile, as seen in the attached screenshot.  This is tested and working brilliantly in trunk and Evergreen 2.0.1.

Great work, Michal.  If you haven't already, would you add this as a
Wishlist patch on launchpad?

The error also refers to Script: http://DOMAIN/opac/common/js/fmgen.js:64 which I assume is the fieldmapper trying to pull names from permission.group_tree, but I’m a bit unsure where this is failing.  If anyone has a 1.6 series release they could test this on, I’d sure appreciate it! I’d like to find out if it’s just my environment, or if it affects others.

I won't wave you off creating a local patch, but current practice is
that new features only go into trunk (and, now, rel_2_1), so this
won't be backported for official release to there.
