Comment (by joedolson):

 I'm seeing two reasonable paths forward on this:

 1) We can add a flag such as `data-allow-empty` that can be added to an
 `option` and will prevent the error flag.

 2) You can add a behavior that auto selects the available checkboxes when
 your option is selected.

 In either case, you'd need to make a change to your plugin; I'm inclined
 to think it makes more sense for you to select items when your option is
 selected. Your action is presumably already bypassing the selection, so
 whether all items are selected or not is relatively moot.

 And this is really not an API change - the API never performed any action
 when no posts were selected; this is simply making it apparent that no
 action is being performed.
