All Photographs is a collection that ...err... shows all photographs. That means you cannot move any pictures out of this collection, unless you completely remove them from the catalog.

Drag and drop works, drag from All Photographs to whatever collection(s) you want.

Please note: this is not a "move" of the photo, it will always be in All Photographs. However, now LR knows you want it in any specific collection(s).

Works fine for me. Make sure you are pointing at the thumbnail photo rather than the grey box around the thumbnail when you drag and drop.
