I've now checked on GNU/Linux, and the dialogs behave there in exactly the same manner: even if you click the "X" button in the upper-right corner of the dialog, to close the dialog, the command continues; you need to type some character to stop it. So I think the Windows port behaves exactly like the X version here, with the sole exception of C-g. I will look into fixing the C-g case when I have time (if no one beats me to it), but other than that, I don't think we have a problem here that needs to be fixed before the release. (One could argue that the fact that the command continues after closing the dialog is a bug or misfeature on all platforms, but since this is so at least since v21.x, and probably long before that, I think we can safely live with it until after the release.)
