Services & Actions gui broken?

I'm unable to use the Form Builder to create services & actions that
work. When I look at the code, there's a few strange things:

Two default instances are created:

<xforms:instance id="fr-service-request-instance"
xxforms:exclude-result-prefixes="#all">
<request/>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:instance id="fr-service-response-instance"
xxforms:exclude-result-prefixes="#all">
<response/>
</xforms:instance>

As well as the instance I defined in the service request body:
<xforms:instance id="TestService-instance" class="fr-service"
xxforms:exclude-result-prefixes="#all">
<body><value/></body>
</xforms:instance>

Yet the submission references fr-service-request-instance instead of
TestService-instance:
<xforms:submission id="TestService-submission" class="fr-service"

ref="instance('fr-service-request-instance')"

This doesn't seem right to me.

Also, there's a "SET ME" attribute value in a few places. Should this
have been replaced?
<xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate" ev:observer="go-control">

<xforms:send submission="SET ME"/>
</xforms:action>

I also cannot delete services or actions via the gui.

This is pretty frustrating. I'm using Orbeon 3.8.0.201005141841 PE

Arlo,

To be honest we don't like the way services and actions are stored in
the form right now.

This said, I don't think that what you point out is the problem. There
is an action in your form that inserts, from TestService-instance,
into fr-service-request-instance.

Do you have a simple example you could provide with explanations, that
we could use to reproduce the issue?

Also, it's always a good idea to try a nightly build too as we have
fixed bugs since 3.8.0.
