Here is recipe:

(define-derived-mode my-mode tabulated-list-mode "Choice" "Choice Mode"
  (setq tabulated-list-padding 1)
  (setq tabulated-list-format  [("Title" 60 t) ("Button" 20 t)])
  (tabulated-list-init-header))

(defun my-display ()
  (let* ((buffer "Choice")
	 (buffer (get-buffer-create buffer)))
    (switch-to-buffer-other-window buffer)
    (my-mode)
    (setq tabulated-list-entries '((1 ["Something" ("Button" 'action (lambda (b) (message "Hello")) 'font-lock-face 'link 'follow-link t)])))
    (tabulated-list-print t)))

(my-display) ;; This will not activate the button.

;; while this works fine
(insert-text-button "Button" 'action (lambda (b) (message "Hello")))
Button

This is what Michael H was trying to get across in
help-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org: Don't quote the things
inside the list.

(setq tabulated-list-entries 
      '((1 ["Something"
            ("Button"
             action (lambda (b) (message "Hello"))
             font-lock-face link 
             follow-link t)])))

The doc string tells you that a DESC has a label:
in your case "Something" and properties and their
values.  Nothing is evaluating any of those things,
since they are in your quoted list ((1...)).

I found on gnu-emacs-help mailing list that I am using it wrongly and
should not quote properties. It is not a bug, and closing it.
