Comment (by nacin):

 Column headers are printed twice, which means we'd end up with duplicate
 IDs here.

 What if we hooked directly into the print_column_headers() list table
 method and always overrode the checkbox column? [attachment:21325.diff]

 Existing 'cb' => '<input type="checkbox" />' can also become 'cb' => true
 or 'cb' => false with this change. Unless someone is manually looping
 through get_column_headers() and doing their own printing, there'd be no
 side effect.

 The one issue is that "Select all" might need to be disambiguated for
 localization reasons. "Select all" for posts might translate differently
 than "Select all" for themes, for example. The other option would be to
 consider the context to be selecting all "rows" or "checkboxes," in which
 case, we're fine. It looks like we already use "Select All" elsewhere,
 without context, on update-core.php and elsewhere.
