Looks like two sides of the same coin.  If there is an invalid <<ALL 
FILES>> (not existing in practice, I think), it now implies all;  if no 
change on this point, <<ALL FILES>> does not imply invalid one.  The 
existing behavior looks more safe to me.  What's you concern to make 
this behavior change?

Otherwise, looks fine to me.
