Yeah, I agree, that's not desireable.

No, I don't think so. It's enough to trigger the event in act_export(). In
fact the event is only needed for plugins which use TPL_ACT_RENDER to be also
able to produce output for the export function.

I think so, though it requires some refactoring of act_export. I'll have
another look at it later today.
