Solutions
You need to add
Mage::app()->loadArea($this->getLayout()->getArea());
in your constructor before loading the layout.
That line is needed so magento will know what area to load.
It works in an action because the action is called after preDispatch() is called, and that's where the area is usually loaded.
It doesn't work in the constructor by default because the constructor is called prior to calling preDispatch()
