Actually that "Run rule's actions" operates outside of normal ProfileMatic rules. It's a one-off execution of the actions. The side-effect of that is that no state will be stored, and any "restore previous" or "Custom action after rule deactive" kind of rules do not work with it.

In any case, there has been no changes to the PSM action between 2.1.0 and 2.2.0, so if you have the same rules it should work the same.

I just tested a rule with idle 0 and restore of PSM, and it worked fine. You can try running ProfileMatic daemon in terminal to see if there's some suspicious output that would explain your problem.
