That's by design. activated() means the _user_ activated it.
In other cases, if the app knows about it, it can as well call the slot directly.
All of KActions work that way now (they didn't use to, in KDE-2.0, in that led
to many problems).

I added that some time ago (but it's not activated by default for backward-compat reasons).

    /**
     * Call setRemoveAmpersandsInCombo to ask KSelectAction to remove
     * '&' signs from the combobox that is created when plugging this action
     * into a toolbar. This is useful when the items have an '&' for providing
     * accelerators in the menu-items; those '&' shouldn't appear in comboboxes.
     * By default this setting is false.
     * Call this before plugging the action.
     */
    void setRemoveAmpersandsInCombo( bool b );
