The idea of creating it as a full separate level of security gives me the twitches, and additionally it feels like it would be too much of a promotion of Facebook. I would be fine with automatically created custom security groups that include full-LJ-account friends, Twitter account friends, OpenID friends (maybe even drilling down to source domain?), Facebook account friends, and any other subsequently added account sources -- but not with having it be a thing that you can pick out of the top-level security menu, if that makes any sense to you.
I would also be fine with a means of automatically importing one's Facebook friends. I will probably draw fire from the commenting contingent who dislikes anything that Dreamwidth has done for suggesting this, but if there's a way to reserve or pre-set-up Facebook Connect commenting accounts in a similar way to how Dreamwidth pre-sets-up OpenID accounts on the behalf of LJ users when a Dreamwidth user imports their LJ friends into their security filters, then I'd suggest something like that. Though given the nature of LJ vs. the nature of Facebook, I'd say something less broad-spectrum, like presenting a menu with all the Facebook friends someone has, and let them choose which to import as friends. Once they've done that, if the Facebook user hasn't already set up their connection, an 'ext_' account is set up for them, with minimal, publicly accessible information only. Then all the Facebook Connect accounts are added as friends, and the user can decide how to shuffle them around in their friends groups.

I wouldn't be opposed to having the sites talk to each other, and regularly prompt me if I want to change a relationship somewhere else if I've changed it on one site, but I don't trust either Facebook or Twitter enough to give them the keys to my anything.

If you're twitchy about the FB friends, then don't use the setting.
