Comment (by Offereins):

 Just found out that `bp_activity_set_action()` comes with a like-minded
 notice:

 {{{#!php
  * While it's possible to post items to the activity stream whose types
 are
  * not registered using bp_activity_set_action(), it is not recommended;
  * unregistered types will not be displayed properly in the activity admin
  * panel, and dynamic action generation (which is essential for
 multilingual
  * sites, etc) will not work.
 }}}

 Essentially, this very mention is what I'd like to see in practice. The
 action strings are already registered in `$bp->activity->actions` (per
 component), so there's no need for an additional `bp_activity_types`
 collection.

 Perhaps we can offer an option toggle to add an additional query filter
 that does this. For now, I'll use a custom solution in my situation(s).
