This is a "feature" :)

When I did this, my goal was to prevent the user from accidentally clicking 
twice on the button, which triggers the action twice. This is a big problem 
for some action dialog, eg. workflow transitions that "remain in state": the 
transition will be passed twice, and if your transition modify a workflow 
variable or execute a script, this will be done twice.

I know this is annoying for developers, for instance when an exception is 
raised in the action, you're not the first one to complain. But for end 
users, it's not a problem (unless they use the "Previous" button from their 
browser).

So this was the original intention, but this implementation is definitivly a 
hack and anyway doesn't work with non javascript-enabled browsers. If it's 
too annoying, I'm ok to revert untill we have a clean solution, and keep this 
change locally on projects which requires it.
