By design. init() is for object initialization -- primarily setting up
the action controller environment. The call to set the dispatched flag
happens *after* object instantiation, but *before* preDispatch() is
called. Hence, you'll want to run your code from your action
controller's preDispatch() method (or from a preDispatch() plugin).
