Actions in "portal_types" are quite old, they predate TALES expressions
and therefore use string actions with magic placeholders.
Actions in the tools are new and use TALES expressions.

As it is not easy to switch from string actions to TALES expression
actions in a completely backward compatible way, I think,
the "portal_typs" actions have not yet been switched.

Maybe, you can come up with a proposal?
