That's right, UML-RT does not support the notion of do activities.
So yes, it probably should be "removed" from Papyrus-RT. Keep in mind that currently the UML tab in the properties view, "inherited" from Papyrus, is still visible and possible to use in Papyrus-RT. On this tab everything that is in UML is exposed, even though it might not be part of UML-RT.
To be really sure, one should for now only use the the UML-RT tab in the properties view in the context of Papyrus-RT, to ensure that only properties relevant to UML-RT are visible and possible to change. The UML-RT tab in the properties view is the customized tab, with UML-RT specific behavior, specifically made for Papyrus-RT and UML-RT.
Some types of model elements, e.g. a state in a state-machine, don't (yet) have a UML-RT specific tab, so some care is needed for those elements, e.g when editing entry and exit code. Eventually there will be tooling in place for editing entry and exit code for states using a separate code snippet view, where it will hopefully be more clear that you cannot enter any "do activity" code. See bug 494288 for more information.
It is still not decided if and how the UML tab shall be removed in the context of Papyrus-RT, since there are uses cases and scenarios were UML-RT are being used together with "full" UML, and completely hiding the UML tab could limit the use of UML-RT in combination with UML. But this can probably be solved by having different "configurations" of Papyrus-RT for different usages, e.g. a Papyrus-RT configuration which have removed the UML tab in the properties view and only exposes the UML-RT tab with the subset of properties relevant for UML-RT.
So, for now, try to only use the UML-RT tab in the properties view, and for those model elements that (still) only have a UML tab, be careful about which properties actually are applicable to UML-RT.
