I am not sure if there is a situation possible in which an Arch:all package should not carry the Multi-Arch:foreign tag.
Not every "Architecture: all" package can be marked as "Multi-Arch: foreign". Otherwise, we could just teach dpkg and APT to treat all arch:all packages as if they were ma:foreign and be done with it. :)
IME, many people (including past me) have poor understanding what "Multi-Arch: foreign" means, and if Lintian hinted them they could add it, they would, even when they shouldn't.
