Using ActionBarCompat and requestWindowFeature

Question

so far i had no bigger problems moving from ActionBarSherlock to ActionBarCompat. On my Nexus 4 it works pretty good. As i began to test on my older Nexus One running 2.3.6 i ran in an problem when i rotate the device. I request an Window feature to show the intermediate progress in the ActionBar:

@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(android.view.Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
    requestWindowFeature(android.view.Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);

    setupActionBar(getSupportActionBar());

}

This works pretty good on Jelly Bean.

On 2.3.6 is get this Stack Trace:
