I upgraded fb_social to 2.0-beta4 a few days ago because I was having this problem with 1.0, and the previous bug report had mentioned that upgrading to 2.0 fixed the issue. After 2 days of running successfully with 2.0-beta4 I now see that the recommendations block is displaying "invalid action type" throughout the site, just as it had with 1.0 previously.

I'm a little out of ideas at the moment. This behavior just started today.

For completeness I should mention that this site is behind a Varnish cache, so it's possible it's a Varnish integration issue?

Note --- this is the export for the recommendations

$fb_social_preset = new stdClass;
$fb_social_preset->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default fb_social_preset disabled initially */
$fb_social_preset->api_version = 1;
$fb_social_preset->name = 'recommendation_1';
$fb_social_preset->description = 'Recommendations';
$fb_social_preset->plugin_type = 'recommendations';
$fb_social_preset->settings = array(
  'block' => 1,
);
$fb_social_preset->fb_attrs = array(
  'site' => 'www.tcdailyplanet.net',
  'width' => '300',
  'height' => '240',
  'header' => 1,
  'colorscheme' => 'light',
  'border_color' => '#000000',
  'font' => 'arial',
);

I suspect this is all related to

I was seeing this last week (posted about it here) and it eventually went away on it's own.. I later read that Facebook deployed a broken SDK or something and rolled it back.. I suspect it's the same issue (as I think is shown the link above)..

Well -- yeah -- it didn't work, then it did work --- and I see that it is now working again, so this must be some sort of mucking around on Facebook's part. Looks closed to me.
