Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you. this remains a known incompatibility since matlab introduced the
VECDIM (vector dimension) and 'all' options around 2018. It is gradually being
added to the numerous functions involved, but has not yet made it into sum. 
See other bug reports: 

bug #58089 - missing vecdim option
bug #58116 - missing 'all' option

It is something we hope to address in the not too distant future.

the "All" option at least has the not-too-difficult workaround of just calling
the function as sum(A(:)).

if you are able to help contribute missing functionality it is always
appreciated.

closing as duplicate.
