I believe that a teacher needs to only have a basic understand of the tendencies and mechanics of other instruments. They should also know fingerings. For choral directors, I think that you need to be very skilled at piano.

Either school of thought seems like a good idea. I only play trumpet (you try and stick a French horn or piccolo trumpet in my hands, I'll be totally lost), but I've met a few people who seemed like they could play EVERYTHING short of the digeridoo. It really all depends on the students preference. Teachers, though, should have basic knowledge of the instruments they teach, including (but not limited to) fingerings and repair skills.
