Not sure why perhaps its because its protected and the action stuff is 
using reflection

Log it is a bug

Here is a temp solution, add this method to your action class (its 
directly lifted from DatabaseBrowserAction):


     /**
      * Subclasses should override this method if they wish to
      * provide their own customization behavior.
      * Default is to use Portal base customizer action
      */
     protected void buildConfigureContext( VelocityPortlet portlet,
                                           Context context,
                                           RunData rundata )
     {
         try
         {
             super.buildConfigureContext( portlet, context, rundata);
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
             Log.error(ex);
         }
        // context.put(SQL, getQueryString(portlet, rundata, context));
        // context.put(WINDOW_SIZE, getParameterUsingFallback(portlet, 
rundata, WINDOW_SIZE, null));
        // setTemplate(rundata, getParameterUsingFallback(portlet, 
rundata, CUSTOMIZE_TEMPLATE, null));
     }
