Not really, no. I can't reproduce it here, but then I only have my
laptop with me. I do have a full size keyboard back in the office, but
I won't be there for a week or so to test. I suspect what's happening
is that the dialogues don't catch the key (because it's not used by
any of the controls by default) and are passing it to their parent.
