that rather sounds like a bug if the same thing works from Java.

probably best to debug from C++ the implementation of queryDispatch, if
the parameters look as expected from the C++ side.

but i'm not sure how this dispatch stuff works, i guess most likely
you're calling one of these:

sfx2/source/view/sfxbasecontroller.cxx:Reference< frame::XDispatch >
SAL_CALL SfxBaseController::queryDispatch
framework/source/services/desktop.cxx:css::uno::Reference<
css::frame::XDispatch > SAL_CALL Desktop::queryDispatch
framework/source/dispatch/dispatchprovider.cxx:css::uno::Reference<
css::frame::
XDispatch > SAL_CALL DispatchProvider::queryDispatch
