same for me, it looks like a bug to me. Maybe it is one of those
combinations
that John Fultz mentioned as "having problems" in another recent post...

I think this can be cured with setting the following Option for
CreateDialog (of course you can set it to something else, it just
shouldn't contain the default action for the return key):
NotebookEventActions -> {}
it doesn't help much, since shift-return still doesn't work in the
calling notebook...
