It is too radical change at this point as a lot of apps would need
modifications (they likely would not handle deleting the dialog window very
well ;), in the future designs our dialogs might look a bit different and this
bug will be taken as one input to those.

Yep, but more important is that someone (app) would need to handle this
situation, and everyone should handle it exactly the same way.

Nope, different UI's can have different styles. Maybe Qt Maemo style (if such
exists) should be modified to include close buttons in dialogs? In linux world,
a window manager decides what is being shown on window decoration, application
should not depend on a certain window manager at any level.
