I dropped all guards on my worklists, and got the behaviour I was looking for. 
I also discovered that the apparently missing 'View' action is due to the 
action box renderer's idiosyncratic tendency to only render object actions if 
there are more than one to be rendered.

Worklist actions are, indeed, evaluated in the context of the portal root (in 
DCWorkflows, at least). 

I think it might be time for me to write all this stuff down into some help 
files for DCWorkflows.
