I wouldn't suggest this is a design issue. This happens all the time, especially if you're nesting forms. Furthermore, LookupDispatchAction can get you into trouble; your Message Resources could be translated in such a way that some methods become unreachable (button.one=FooBar, button.two=FooBar). I solved this by making a new Class that associates methods with Form properties, instead of text. The downside is that each submit button is associated with a different Form property, not with the single parameter named in the struts-config. The method is executed which is the first in the HashMap associated with a non-null Form property.
