Quick question: have you thought about versioning the interface as
described on http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/versioning-dbus.html?

Knowing how actions and menus work in GTK+, I can see how this interface
could be useful in making actions available to other processes
automatically (or without too much work). 

I'd prefer interfaces with well-defined and reliable APIs in most
situations though, rather than exporting variable lists of actions with
signatures that are not specified formally anywhere and that clients
cannot rely on. But that's no real argument against your proposal of
course.
