OK, maybe one should report a bug it should be noted in the
docstring ...

Alright, but how?

The docstring says

  It should be a cons cell (FUNCTIONS . ALIST), where
  FUNCTIONS is an action function or a list of action
  functions and ALIST is an action alist. Each such action
  function should accept two arguments: a buffer to display
  and an alist of the same form as ALIST.

So it should be

  ( (af_0 ... af_n) . ((k_0 . a_0) ... (k_m . a_m)) )

where

  af = action function
  k  = key
  a  = action

where each action function has the form

  af(buf, alist)

where alist has the form

  ( (k_0 . a_0) ... (k_m . a_m) )

Pretty simple, right?
