Hmm, looks like this is a bug -- I pass all messages every time if you  
specify 'all'.

The problem is that the report you're getting is a transaction report,  
and the failure you're experiencing happens before the transaction  
instance even exists.  I agree it's a problem, but I haven't figured  
out a way to solve it yet.  Admittedly, I haven't worked on it as hard  
as I might have...
