Yeah, that is annoying.
I've got two workarounds.

The first is to rename the directory containing your unwanted palette.
Then restart IB. It will fail to find the palette and remove it from
the list.

The second way is to edit your .NeXT/defaults.nibd and remove the 
unwanted palette from the AvailablePalettes list. No doubt there is
a more elegant (dwrite) way to do this, but I like to play with fire.
