I just confirmed that this is indeed the case.  At the moment I have no
idea why this is broken.  However, there is a simple workaround.  If you
change XmSelectionDialog to XmPromptDialog in your Uil file, you'll get the
same behavior as setting XmDIALOG_PROMPT.  Hope that helps.  Let me know if
you have any further questions.
