this is a general problem we face in v4 too. the request-variables are 
bound to a plugin, not to an instance, though given to any instance of 
that plugin.

i thought about that some time ago and propably it would be a solution 
to allow an extbase-based action to prefix the variables with some 
identifier. so if your action wants to send a value to User/LoginAction, 
it uses:

tx_yourext_pi1[UserLogin][name] = value

and only the User/LoginAction tries to deal with this value, all other 
actions would no be affected. for long controllerAction-names propably 
something like a short md5 hash or similar would make sense.

of course you will get into trouble if you use the same controllerAction 
twice *g* but that's a pretty wired case ...
