Yes, I believe this used to be possible. While I'm not sure why it
changed, I'm also not sure if we need to revert this change as I
personally prefer the current simple behavior (although there could be
a room for improvement). And I want to hear what others think. You may
file a new feature request (or a bug if you want) issue regarding
this.

It will work if you explicitly set its transform.
star, = ax.plot([xdata[ind]], [ydata[ind]], '*',
ms=40, mfc='y', mec='b',
transform=thisline.get_transform())

I believe that reparenting only changes the "axes" attribute of the
line, so it might not be a problem.
Given the current implementation of the pick event handler, I think it
might be better for you to implement a custom handler although this
may takes you more time.
However, I must admit that I rarely use events with matplotlib. I'm
only addressing this since there were no response from other
developers. And they may have different opinions than me.
