It was probably introduced by the code that added:
IActionBarConfigurer2 and createToolBarContributionItem(*),

Although it's not clear how ... the TBCI2 doesn't exactly add much to 
the ToolBarContributionItem. Some interaction must make the action set 
contributions not be filled.

As you found, it's bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=136847
