Not really.  I was just fixated on the problem with the dialog box;
that's probably the cause why I associated "dialog" with it.

I checked in some changes which will avoid the unresponsiveness if the
respective commands are invoked from the menu.  This way you should
get a file dialog box at least with CVS Emacs.  Does this improve the
behavior of Emacs 21.3 as well?

This is working here with Emacs 21.4.  It only failed while using a
version of AUCTeX compiled with/for CVS Emacs.  As you wrote that you
have separately compiled versions of AUCTeX for both Emacsen, do you
get any errors when putting
(setq debug-on-error t)
as the first line into your .emacs file?
