The RP action needs layers to work with. It’s that easy. For that alone, ancient HTML levels lover that HTML 4 won’t work. I personally like to work with XHTML 1 Traditional, when not working in HTML 5.
Your solution: select your master page, look at the page tab of the inspector palette what shows you the HTML-output, which probably is set to HTML 3.2 (and HTML 3.2 doesn’t allow/recognize layered elements.
However. If you ARE working in HTML 4 or above, it could very well be that the option (because it is an option, not standard behavior) CSS Layout is turned of (the round bulb in your toolbar should be blue. When grey, you’re working with table layout).
Relative Page Layout Folder Action. The Action will be ignored on the following pages
This action can be applied to a folder - in which case it will be applied to all pages within that folder. Or it can be applied on a page by page basis.
This means that if you have pages that contain table based items then the page action can be removed.
Table based items show in your FW layout as having a blue border.

in my case HTML Output is set to 4.01 Transitional

It was grey. I turned it on (now it is blue) but I still have the same message
Turning it on only affects things you draw after you make the change, it doesn’t change the things that were already on the page. Click once on each element on the page, and make sure the Layer checkbox is checked in the Inspector for each one.

is the Action in question something introduced automatically or I defined it unintentionally?
The action is used in some of the FW supplied Templates - are you using one of them?
Other than that you need to add it yourself
What the Action is really doing?
The action is designed to turn a standard FW layered construction page into one that works as an inline layout (sometimes referred to as Box Model).
Inline layouts are difficult to do correctly and the action tries to automate the process for you.
One of the biggest advantages of an inline layout is that when text sizes are increased (whether through visitor choice or different Browser renderings) the text boxes do not overlap each other or any graphics.
Yes - for easy start I based my template on FW supplied one. The idea of Action sounds very interesting but I do not see the Action on my Template. On my page only one Action is visible - CSS Menus
