you can use action-href-body shortcut in situations like this.

it should work, but generally you shouldn't assume that ucw has no
bugs. i'd try rising the debug level of the ucw.rerl.dispatcher and
ucw.rerl.actions loggers and see if there's anything unusual. it
should give you a hint on what's going on.

also note that if there are forms involved some things get more tricky.

ps: the iolib backend is not tested much, but it seems unlikely that
the backend would break your code so that other things work
simultaneously.
