I think this is by design. The '&num' notation never works until after a command
that indicates what the number of associations is. Since you can use file
indirection within individual commands, I often do something like this:

ntpq -c 'assoc >/dev/null' -c 'rl &3'

Since my change to ntpq to clamp the '&num' at the maximum assoc, I use this
quite often:

ntpq -c 'assoc >/dev/null' -c 'mrl &1 &99'
