I try and type something like this:

#all drink fountain

I get a 'Error parsing command - Illegal token'

#all {drink fountain}

works but is unacceptably burdensome

What is going on and how do I get around it?

The problem appears to be that #ALL only takes one argument. Your version of the command is sending two. You are looking at a lot more work than adding { and } to get around this.

#alias all {#all {%-1}}

Thank you Arminas! One catch. That will not process aliases.

So If I have:
#alias rrr rec recall
#alias aaa {#all (%-1}}

then try: aaa rrr

it sends rrr to all the sessions, not the alias...

Well, you can try this.

#alias all {#all {#exec {%-1}}}
