I want to scan *all* pages. If the ADF is not in use, that's the
same as 1. I don't see why I should have to specify this explicitly.
For --source, you only have options Auto or ADF, so the only way to
know whether the ADF is in use is to assume it isn't if
--batch-scan=no.
Some scanners don't have a --source option if there is only one
possibility, or have wildly varying names for ADF, flatbed, etc. Only
HP uses the --batch-scan option. Unfortunately, this isn't
straightforward.
If I scan with batch-scan=no and all batch-count=all, then it works
but simply takes ages processing page two before closing the
dialog.
So if I understand you correctly, you *can* make it work. It just
isn't as intuitive or quick as you would like.

Jeff
