We noticed this too. It seems odd, but it is perfectly normal. The granularity of a composite partitioned table is the subpartition. If you rebuild 'ALL' the subpartitions of a partition in a different tablespace, you should be OK, since the partition itself does not contain any data, its subpartition(s) has the data.
