Good point, but the problem is the AVP I am using to set the dialog timeout 
value is tied to the transaction, not the dialog. So the AVP is not available 
after the INVITE/200 OK request/response when the PRACK is seen. So the PRACK 
over writes the set timeout value of the dialog with the default value. 
(killing any changes I have made at INVITE/200OK time via the dialog timeout 
AVP)

So, ether I need PRACK to stop resetting the dialog timeout or I need the AVP 
to be bound to the dialog and not the transaction so the dialog module 
will "remember" my value and not use the default.

As for your question about what will happen, is if the dialog times out in the 
middle of the PRACK/200OK transaction, then the dialog has timed out. In my 
case the Session Expire time has been reached and the PROXY is in its right 
to delete the dialog and free the resources because the session was not 
renewed with a reINVITE/UPDATE.

Comments?
