[Jolla Launcher] Android action buttons don't dissapear

First I need to mention that I'm using CyanogenMod 10.2.1 (fresh install) on a Nexus 4 (Android 4.3.1) and I'm aware that the Launcher wasn't made to be used with this mod. Still I thought it is worth to mention it.

The problem is that the Android 'Action Buttons' won't dissapear in Launcher (see pictures). The upper status bar makes what it should - no problem there. With CyanogenMod you have the possibility to use 'Expanded Mode' (a full screen mode) where you can swipe up to make those action buttons appear. Expanded Mode with Sailfish Launcher disables the buttons, but displaying them with a swipe doesn't work anymore (so they're pretty much gone). Furthermore the Launcher seems to crash when peeking/swiping an application away (though I only experienced that with activated Expanded mode)

Does anyone else have that problem (with stock Android or modded one)?

[UPDATE 28/06/14] Issue isn't related to Cyanogenmod, but to Android 4.3. Action bar works fine on Android 4.4 (Cyanogenmod 11). See answer by @tdb for more details. I'm still trying to figure out when Jolla Launcher crashes by using CM's 'Expanded mode'.
