Well, mostly. The REST Action stuff doesn't use views at all by default.
So, it's happy writing output and not going to a view at all (unless you
map a content-type to a View manually)....

As such, what is the REST stuff doing, or how is it avoiding using views
for most of it's output? Therein probably lays the answer the this
particular problem.
