Alright, figured it out. Unlike click-dragging a take lane, which creates start and end point splits on all take lanes, creating a single split only applies to selected take lanes. So, if I want it to apply to all take lanes, I have to select them prior to making the split. This inconsistency of functionality seems clunky to me, but I don't know whether it's a bug or just not how I would have designed it. Either way, at worst, I've got a workaround.
Enjoy the weekend!
