The two selections are pretty much equivalent, and I see how they can  
be confusing.

However, synchronizing just the contacts displayed as "All" in AB  
still require us to generate the category associations, because they  
*really are categorized* in groups in AB. They MUST be put into a  
category on your Palm - that's a requirement of the Palm app. What  
would they be categorized as otherwise?

There is not a way to do what you're looking for. My suggestion: sync  
them all, and then set your category popup to "All" on your device.  
Same list as the desktop.
