It certainly looks like they have changed things that way.  
I checked, and I still have some Types with the ‘old’ style action button scripting, and these work as expected (logging to the console works, and the pop-up on completion contains the return value).

It’s certainly frustrating to no longer be able to easily debug scripts, but I guess you could update a ‘scratchpad’ text field for the entity as a workaround.
