They are not mandatory functionally (there is no D-Bus error), but as
you say, the result is weird. I like Stefan's idea to make them mandatory

Maybe you have disabled D-Bus error in one way or the other, I've got an
error. Did you run dbus-monitor in parallel, during tests?

It is more than just bonus. Otherwise, :actions could not be handled
properly.
Thanks for adding.
