When using Zend_View_Helper_Action, preDispatch events aren't being fired properly for the action being run. For instance, when using registered Action helpers (derived from Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract) with preDispatch functions, the hooks work properly. However, when using Controller Plugins (derived from Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract) with those same preDispatch hooks, the functions won't get run.

When using a _forward call within a action, the preDispatch hooks always work properly.

This happends with postDispatch as well as other hooks as well.
