3.5M5 [viewContribution] action activation by the object selection doesn't work [message #334556]

I'd like to have my own action in the debug view. The action has to be
activated when an element of the java stack frame is selected.
I defined the following extension point and created the class
my.test.DebugAction implements IViewActionDelegate.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.viewActions">
<viewContribution
id="my.test.viewDebugContribution"
targetID="org.eclipse.debug.ui.DebugView">
<action
class="my.test.DebugAction"
id="my.test.DebugAction"
label="Test Action"
toolbarPath="additions">
enablesFor="+"
<selection
class="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.core.IJavaStackFrame">
</selection>
</action>
</viewContribution>
</extension>

This solution works fine for eclipse 3.4 (ganymede) but doesn't work for
3.5M5 (galileo) any more. The action is visible in the debug view but
disabled. If I remove the enablesFor="+" parameter then the action is
always enabled.
What is wrong in my extension point implementation or may be is it an
eclipse bug?

If it works in 3.4 but not in 3.5, something has obviously changed :-)
I suggest you open a bug at
