NOTICEs are not sent when enable or disable "all"

[Charles Jones]

I just built a new hobbit server with 4.1.2p1 and I am still seeing the 
behavior of, if you enable or disable "all" services for a host, it does 
not trigger the NOTICE rule and thus no email is sent out.  Below are 
the last 2 messages I sent reporting this problem.
