--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.
