It doesn't do *exactly* the same, which might be even more confusing.

The "Send To" menu shows all entries for specific MIME types as well as 
the ones for the media type, whereas the top entries in the file action 
menu only show the entries for the specific MIME type.

Example:

Say you have the follwing entries in the SendTo folder:

<SendTo>/.image/
    Gimp
    GQView

<SendTo>/.image_jpeg
    Convert JPEG to PNG

<SendTo>/.image_gif
    Convert GIF to PNG


then the SendTo menu for all image types will be:

Gimp
GQView


For image/jpeg:

Convert JPEG to PNG
-------------------
Gimp
GQView


For image/gif:

Convert GIF to PNG
-------------------
Gimp
GQView


but the file action menu will only have the "Convert XY to PNG" entries 
for image/jpg and image/gif.
