Yes, sadly it is.

Probably just a bug in the 'manager show user' command. The user doesn't have 
all the permissions, so 'all' shouldn't show up in the list. If it's not 
already in the issue tracker, please file a bug[1].

This is at least looks correct. The 'all' permission is a superset of, well, 
all the permissions. The 'write=all' line in manager.conf assigns all of these 
permissions to the user.
