bug#46986: 28.0.50; project.el: project-switch-project: dispatch menu bindings missing

[Terje Larsen]

The value of project-switch-commands:

((project-find-file "Find file")
 (project-find-regexp "Find regexp")
 (project-dired "Dired")
 (project-vc-dir "VC-Dir")
 (project-eshell "Eshell"))

The value of project-switch-project on step 3 is only "... (choose
directory)" as I run this in an isolated environment without any
previous projects loaded/added (e.g. no project-list-file).

See attached screenshot of what step 6 looks like.

I think this is a regression in Emacs, I just tested to load the newer
project.el in an older version:
GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24,
cairo version 1.16.0)

And then both the display is correct and the bindings work. However in
the version which I reported the bug for it still does not work.

So to clarify the issue seems to be with:
In GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.24, cairo version 1.16.0)
