Unless I’m misunderstanding something, this is a known bug or rather a quirk of Inform 7.

I used an ugly hack in Counterfeit Monkey to avoid this, basically adding the player to the multiple object list as a kind of dummy object which is then removed later, printing a custom message if the list now is empty. I’m sure there are better ways.

[Hack to avoid "What do you want to drop those things in?" when typing DROP ALL while carrying nothing.]
Rule for deciding whether all includes the person asked while dropping:
	if the person asked is empty:
		it does.

		let L be the multiple object list;
		if the player is listed in L:
			remove player from L;
			alter the multiple object list to L;
	if the multiple object list is empty:
		say "[We] don't have anything to drop.";
