I'm currently in the process of investigating a dialog-related issue together with Uri (see CC). It may be related to your problem, so let's see if I can find something out that helps you as well. If not, I/we should take a dedicated look at your case.
Unfortunately, I'm currently short on time so I cannot give any guarantees as to when I'll find the time to get to these dialog-related things. I promise to get back to you folks ASAP though, so please hang on.
Cheers,
