This is exactly what should be happening, as the dismax parser doesn't understand regular query syntax (and for good reason too). This tripped me up as well when I first started using dismax.
Solution for me was to comfigure the handler to use *:* when the query is empty, so that you can still get back a full result set if you need it, say for faceting.
