Action fails when context is explicitly None

[Numérigraphe]

If the client receives an action defined with a 'context' key explicitly set to None, it will fail to process it and the client's stdout will show:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "XYZ/client/bin/widget/view/form_gtk/parser.py", line 123, in button_clicked
    model.get_button_action(self.form.screen, id, self.attrs)
  File "XYZ/client/bin/widget/model/record.py", line 365, in get_button_action
    obj._exec_action(result, datas)
  File "XYZ/client/bin/modules/action/main.py", line 99, in _exec_action
    context.update(tools.expr_eval(action.get('context','{}'), context.copy()))
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

That can happen for example when a workflow activity returns an action and pass the context without making it is a dictionary - the framework will actually pass None instead.
