--all does not imply HEAD, so:

$ git bundle create all.bundle --all HEAD

you have to say explicitly the branches you want as:

$ git fetch all.bundle master:bundle/master

or with a remote:

$ git remote add bundle all.bundle
$ git fetch bundle

The same happens with a normal remote repository without a HEAD.

I sent a path to support bundles in clone, but it was late for 1.5.4
and at some point "git clone" will be converted to C (now it is a
script). For now you have to do the "git init ; git remote add -f
...", or similar.
